[Theatrical] A Humorous Portrait of Actors
Allen Hastings Fry (1847-1931), British.
A fine studio portrait of four actors posed in costume with American and British flags, seemingly poking fun at stereotypes of regular Brits and Irishmen.
The Fry brothers (Allen H. and Walter H.), began their photographic business in 1867 in Brighton. Upon Walter's retirement in the late 1890s, Allen continued the business well into the first two decades of the twentieth century. Print size 9.5 x 18.5" mounted to larger board.
Ex Arnold Crane Collection.
