#OnThisDay in #history - in 1828, Charlotte Seuerling died around age 45. Charlotte Antonia was the daughter of a performing family - her father ran the theatre where her mother was star - and she was blinded at age 4 due to a botched smallpox inoculation. Charlotte didn't let that stop her, she became a well-known musician, composing and performing on both the harp and guitar for her parents' productions. She played for the queen and was known as the Songmaiden. #histodons@histodons#OTD
