Silver gelatin prints and mechanically printed postcard.

Aimé Dupont was a fashionable New York studio where Grainger sat for a number of portraits sometime before November 1915. He had already made his debut to New York audiences and with the help of a manager was energetically promoting his career. These four images indicate how he made the most of a single portrait sitting with printed and hand-written inscriptions added for a more personalised effect. He had numerous post cards featuring these images machine printed with details of his future performances. The studio’s namesake, Aimé Dupont, died in in 1900, but his family, and subsequent future investors, kept his ‘brand’ going until the 1950s.

Description

Silver gelatin print.

Photo: 24.1 x 18.4 cm
Photo and larger card: 45.8 x 35.4 cm

It appears Grainger liked this image very much, as the collection contains multiple copies signed by the photographer. Arnold Genthe was a celebrity photographer who worked in San Francisco and later New York. Genthe’s great contribution to photographic history is his documentation of San Francisco's China Town before it was completely destroyed by fire in 1906. He used a concealed camera and is considered to be one of the first modern street photographers. Genthe’s technique of catching his subject unaware translated into the studio, where his sitters seem unposed and captured mid-thought.
