Photo: 23.7 x 18.5 cm
Photo and board: 30.5 x 25.3 cm

The unknown photographer of this image has captured Roger Quilter with a stony-faced visage, a visual contradiction to various written descriptions of this composer of English art songs. Described as ‘a man of extraordinary generosity and gentleness of spirit’ by Grainger’s biographer John Bird, Grainger had great affection for him and, as he did with Cyril Scott, wrote to him almost weekly.]]>

Looking like a contemporary depiction of the martyrdom of Saint Anthony, the original purpose of this photograph has been lost. Grainger is depicted in silhouette, and the original negative has been intriguingly chemically reversed—the negative has become a positive. What do the hand-drawn arrows refer to? What is the purpose of the frame surrounding his figure? Grainger used alpha-numeric nomenclature to organise his archive but the number 7969 does not relate to any known lists.]]>
