Neumann, Louise, from 1857 verh. Countess Schönfeld, outstanding Viennese actress, daughter of the actress Amalie Haizinger, until her marriage around 17 years celebrated member of the Burgtheater (1817-1905). Two. Letters from the U. "Louise Neumann". 5 p. Double-bl. Gr. 8vo. Vienna 16.V.1848 and IX.1854. The letter from 1848 probably to the (unnamed) actor and writer Arnold Schloenbach (1817-1866), who had asked Amalie Haizinger about the fate of his drama "Gustav III" submitted to the Burgtheater in the middle of a revolutionary tumult. Louise responds on behalf of her mother, "... that Lord von Holbein is now laid in his hands the repertoire of the Burgtheater, your play will be re-read as much as he remembers, only the tendency of which has kept him from accepting it so far.

Louise says, "I sent two lithographs when the most successful portraits of my mother and I were sent to you. As far as biographical notes are concerned, you will find about my mother (Ms. Haizinger) the best printed in the humorist of the year 39 or 40, which would only be added that she entered the Vienna Burgtheater for 9 years, where she proved herself in the older subject just as well as in the earlier one. Wanting to give notes about my life would be ridiculous, it's so smooth out there that no one can be interested in it. The little that can be said about it was once printed in the Viennese illustrious newspaper next to a lithograph ..." - 5 Supplements: 2 eigh.
