The Grainger Museum Archive contains hundreds of photographs of unidentified people. Some are very elaborate and sophisticated images like this Edwardian lady in her fur stole, pearls and Merry Widow hat, taken by the very fashionable Lafayette studio. Who were these people who passed briefly through Grainger’s life, not making enough impression to have their names recorded?

In 1913 Grainger's then fiancée Margot Harrison ordered a very expensive present for her lover: a portrait of herself by H Walter Barnett. Despite his humble beginnings in the studio of Stewart & Co in Melbourne, with his brilliant business mind and extraordinarily gifted photographic eye, Barnett became one of the most sought-after society portraitists in Melbourne, New York and London. Jack Cato (who worked for Barnett) records in his book, The Story of the Camera in Australia (1955), that in 1909 a single portrait sitting with Barnett cost £37.

In the late 1930s Harris & Ewing was the largest photographic studio in the United States, with five physical locations and approximately 120 employees. A very important position in large studios was the printer, and Harris & Ewing employed experts in this field—a role that combined high-level technical skills with an ability to interpret the ‘house’ aesthetic.
This portrait of Tokugawa Iemasa, Japanese diplomat and onetime lover of Ella Grainger, is a fine print with rich, velvety dark tones, carefully modulated skin tones and even chemically bleached highlights.
