Priscilla Horton, later Mrs. German Reed

 * Reason:Notable for several reasons: a highly accomplished Shakespearian actress in her youth, and a theatrical innovator with her husband later on who both encouraged the creation of and premièred rôles in several important early operas by important writers and composers of 19th century Britain; for example, W.S. Gilbert's first big hit outside of pantomimes, Ages Ago had her in it and was at her and her husband's theatre; other major writers and composers for them included F. C. Burnand, and Arthur Sullivan (though she didn't act in Cox and Box as it has no female roles) Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, given the period, it has to be art: There's no photos of her until much later in life, for the very obvious reasons. It may well be an accurate portrayal of her appearance on stage, though: Flying someone in on a wire is not a new innovation; hell, the Victorian era had all sorts of interesting stage effects and spectacles, many of which are way too dangerous to do today (c.f. star trap).
