An extraordinary turn of the century personally compiled album of printed calling cards and correspondence, received over a number of years by Catinka [also Cathinka] Mackenzie de Dietz (1813-1901), noted concert pianist and former pianist to the Queen of Bavaria. As such, it throws a fascinating light upon her social circle, forming a veritable 'Who's Who' of European Royalty and High Society, and made even more appealing by her acerbic and often slightly scandalous annotations! The souvenir album houses predominantly elegantly printed calling cards, though Dietz has also retained and mounted a handful of greeting and Christmas cards, invitations, menus, and clippings. European Royalty are well represented, with several cards given by Princes, Princesses, Counts and Countesses, Viscountesses, and Barons. A high percentage of the cards have been given by other women. Others reveal her various artistic relationships, and as a whole, the album provides a wonderful snap-shot of social connections and late Victorian high society. A number have been inscribed by the giver with messages of esteem, whilst of particular appeal, Dietz herself has frequently added a little note below the card (usually in French, though sometimes English), and which often prove to be quite humorous and sometimes a little acerbic, adding some delicious flavour to this Who's Who of the Belle Époque. Under the card for 'Le Comte de Barck' she has written 'c'est dangereuse de s'embarquer avec lui?; Alderman Wilson of Beckenham apparently gave very good dinners; Mrs Crawford Bromehead apparently 'found the tenors kinder than her husband,'; Mrs Baker 'was a prim lady'; Mrs R. E. Hamer 'Her pretty face greeted her two husbands'; under the card for Lady Caroline Murray 'Sa famille ne payait pas ses dettes'; under the card for M. & Madame Ernest du Fresnel 'Out of sight, out of mind'; for the painter James Frutier she notes that he 'sells spinach'; E. Nathan, 'miaule sur son violoncelle et fait le tendre auprès du beau sexe', whilst Camille Philipp 'est sourd et pourtant la déesse de la mélodie lui prodigue ses faveurs' (is deaf and yet the godess of melody lavishes him with favours). The lawyer Malioche apparently 'does business with lost funds', whilst she describes Georges Stigelli as 'a heavy German who made himself an Italian singer by adding an i to his name'; whilst Albert Anschutz, a professor of piano, 'gives music lessons, cleans, composes lullabies and prepares baths for Madame'. Dietz 'made her Paris debut on 7 February 1836 at the Salle Pleyel with the first movement of Hummel's Concerto in A Minor Her career revolved around placements at royal courts. By 1840 she was pianist to the queen of Bavaria; the following year she played at the French court and was appointed pianist to the queen of the French in 1845. She composed salon pieces, played regularly for Queen Victoria, and was reported to have written an oratorio for which Queen Victoria accepted the dedication.' (Katherine Ellis, Female Pianists and.
