Lady Zakharova

Signed
Glicee Print

Raisa Zakharova: one of the most enigmatic figures from the Victorian era related with spiritualism circles.

She was born in Ukraine circa 1820 and was the only daughter of diplomat at the service of Alexander I.

In 1836, she met German magician and illusionist Folker Krause and joined him as a partenaire on his theater performances and started studying the world of occult sciences. It was during a performance in London’s Drury Lane Theater that Raisa lost her right eye in a mis fortunate mistake during the execution of one of the magic numbers, which consisted of stopping an arrow shot by her husband with a bow through her own will power.

The most mis fortunate stroke of the Krauses’ life was when the recently created secret services of Imperial Russia accused them of espionage during their tours around Europe.
