Evelyn Nesbit was one of the most beautiful women of the turn of the century Victorian era. She was coveted by men, two in particular, who were so obsessed that one of them killed the other! Scandal would follow Nesbit her whole life and in 1926, she attempted suicide by drinking poison. Here she is seen recovering, all smiles, and swearing that she would be just fine. She would indeed live a long and meaningful life, but her name will always be associated with murder and scandal. This rare image was issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
