Portrait of Rose Grainger in New Zealand. She is facing the camera and is wearing a large round brim hat with feathers and a v neck dress. Rose Grainger is captured here wearing a quintessential Edwardian hat. The photographer, May Moore (1881-1931), was one of the few very successful female photographers working in the antipodes at the time. This image was most likely taken in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1908 when Rose accompanied Percy on his second tour to outposts of the British colonial empire with Australian contralto Ada Crossley and her concert party.

These portraits were taken in the same sitting at Elliot and Fry studio in London, and demonstrate how a change in lighting and camera angle can significantly alter the appearance of a subject. The studio was founded in 1863 at 55-56 Baker Street by Joseph John Elliott and Clarence Edmund Fry and operated for a century. It specialised in portraits of leading social, artistic, scientific and political figures.

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.

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.

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.

Grainger spent a lot of his life away from home touring as a concert pianist. While his mother was alive he developed a pattern of having photographs of himself taken by professional photographers, which he would then mail to Rose—a way of maintaining the closeness of their bond. This photograph held great significance for him, as it was the last he sent to her before she committed suicide in 1922.
