Question: which performer and singer during the 19th century  inspired The Ape Woman
Context: Violet Melnotte (2 May 1855–17 September 1935), was a stage performer and actress-manager and theatre owner of the late 19th century and early 20th century.  She was the wife of Gilbert and Sullivan performer Frank Wyatt, whom she met when they both appeared in the hit operetta "Erminie". The Koolakamba or Kooloo-Kamba is a purported hybrid species of chimpanzees and gorillas.  This alleged hybrid ape species has been reported in Africa as early as the mid 19th century though no empirical evidence has been found to substantiate the existence of the creature and it has no entry in the NCBI taxonomical database.  The "Koolakamba" was referenced in the mid-19th century in French work by Franquet (1852, as cited by Shea, 1984) and in some descriptive work of Paul Du Chaillu from 1860, 1861, 1867, and 1899; some of which was republished in 1969 (Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa). Lilies In December is the sole novel and debut work of 19th century literature author and playwright Agustus Montrose.  He was inspired by travels to Ireland during the Great Famine.  It is widely recognized as one of the best psychological realism novels of the era.  It has been praised for its character depth and plot.  Published in 1856, it is considered Montrose's greatest work.  It is especially popular today in Europe, specifically in Poland and Belgium.  It has been deemed as one of the most influential works of the 19th century.  It was developed for stage in 1884 by Montrose. Wesley ( ) is a village in north-eastern Dominica, situated between the old estates of Eden and Londonderry.  Like many other villages along the east coast Wesley developed after Emancipation on hilly land along the boundary between the two estates as labourers sought to establish independent holdings for themselves away from the plantations where they had formerly lived and worked.  In the mid 19th century, Charles Leatham, owner of Eden, sold several small lots in this area.  His estates had been centres for early evangelization by Wesleyan missionaries and by as early as 1837 religious and night school gatherings were being held in a large estate building on Londonderry estate.  Methodist influence grew further when free labourers were introduced into the estates of the north-east from Antigua, Montserrat, and other Leeward Islands to replant the sugar estates in cocoa and limes.  By the 1860s the settlement was referred to as Wesleyville and was dominated by a woman shopkeeper called Ma Wesley.  Eventually the place was simply called Wesley, while the district continued to be called by its old French parish name, La Soie (La Swa).  At the end of the 19th century the Roman Catholic Church began to make a move to evangelize the area, but so strong was the Protestant influence that it had to buy land for the first church by using one of its faithful to purchase the land in his name and then to declare it for the church after the sale was completed.  Tensions between the two faiths were high for a time.  In the 1940s and 1950s large-scale land settlement schemes in the interior organized by the British government enabled villagers to buy Crown Lands and free themselves of dependency on the estates.  This coincided with the beginning of the banana boom and Wesley benefited materially from this development.  Economic growth enabled villagers to improve their housing and send children to secondary schools in Roseau.  In 1979 the opening of St.Andrew's High School provided such education closer to home.  National political changes also had an effect on the general changes in the community. The Ape Woman (Italian: "La donna scimmia" , French: "Le Mari de la femme à barbe" ) is a 1964 Italian-French drama film directed by Marco Ferreri.  It was entered into the 1964 Cannes Film Festival.  The film was inspired by the real-life story of Julia Pastrana a 19th-century woman exploited as a freak show attraction by her manager Theodore Lent. Sivapithecus (Shiva's Ape) (syn: Ramapithecus) is a genus of extinct apes. Fossil remains of animals now assigned to this genus, dated from 12.2 million years old in the Miocene, have been found since the 19th century in the Siwalik Hills in the Indian Subcontinent.  Any one of the species in this genus may have been the ancestor to the modern orangutans. Julia Pastrana (1834 – 25 March 1860) was a performer and singer during the 19th century.  Pastrana, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was born in 1834, somewhere in the state of Sinaloa.  She was born with a genetic condition, hypertrichosis terminalis (or generalized hypertrichosis lanuginosa); her face and body were covered with straight black hair.  Her ears and nose were unusually large, and her teeth were irregular.  The latter condition was caused by a rare disease, undiagnosed in her lifetime, Gingival hyperplasia, which thickened her lips and gums. Dryopithecus fontani is an extinct ape that was first discovered in Saint-Gaudens, Haute-Garonne, France, in the 19th century, and was dated to the middle Miocene. Unmeasured or non-measured prelude is a prelude in which the duration of each note is left to the performer.  Typically the term is used for 17th century harpsichord compositions that are written without rhythm or metre indications, although various composers of the Classical music era were composing small preludes for woodwind instruments using non-measured notation well into the 19th century.  The form resurfaced in the aleatory music of the 20th century, where various other aspects of performance are also left to free interpretation. First Turkish painters appeared no earlier than the mid 19th century during the Ottoman Empire era.  (However, there were a few miniaturists before the 19th century.)  In the 19th century the art training was offered to male painters only.  But a few women painters also appeared who learned painting by private lessons.  The first Turkish woman painter was Müfide Kadri.  The first art academy for girls was Sanayi'i Nefise which became co-educational in 1914.
