EGLANTINE by ADOLPHE FRANCOIS PANNEMAKER 1881
“A bright spirit, quick and keen of perception, somewhat passionate, or at least emotional, intensely feminine, perplexing, and charming, looks out of this maidens lustrous eyes. It would be an arduous task for anybody to make love to her, but it would be almost impossible for anybody not to fall in love with her so that she is rather a dangerous little person, from no fault of her own, but from the general incompetency of the other sex to take care of themselves in the presence of such bewitching creatures. Why she is called “Eglantine” must be  a question left to be answered by the god fathers and godmothers that gave her that pretty and romantic floral name. Where she lives and to what family or country she owes her birth are not questions to left to be rashly and indiscreetly answered in the public prints of this metropolis, lest the information should send off ten or a dozen of our steadfast readers, deserting their proper employment and duties at home to look for this young lady, and to experience a defeat which we should confidently promise to the best of them. It is much safer if they will take our prudent counsel to let her remain a lovely apparition in the large Engraving that we present, "is not a thing of beauty a joy for-ever".
