I believe that your photos, NPG Ax28866 and NPG x21505, are of Olga Nethersole in the part of Sylvia in The Transgressor. It opened at the Royal Court Theatre on 27th January 1894.
There is a large photo in the Illustrated London News, dated 17th February 1894, showing Miss Nethersole wearing exactly the same costume. It reads – Miss Olga Nethersole in “The Transgressor,” at the Court Theatre.
