Title A name given to the resource Percy Grainger Subject The topic of the resource Photograph Description An account of the resource Platinum print, hand-made paper, graphite. Photo: 28.6 x 21.7 cm Parchment/Velum Paper?: 45.5 x 41.1 cm Board: 64 x 51.1 cm Baron Adolph Sigismund de Meyer is seen by many as the founder of fashion photography. Later in his career he was to work for both Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. In London he moved comfortably in the highest levels of society and photographed many of the celebrities he met. His style—strongly influenced by Tonalist and Impressionist painting—was extremely fashionable at the turn of the century. He would manipulate negatives and prints and often use a soft focus lens. Detail was stripped away and the quality of light on surfaces, as well as the modulation of shadows, was almost as important to his style as depicting the sitter.

Photo: 23.4 x 18.4 cm Paper (studio name): 52.4 x 31.8 cm Board: 64.1 x 51.1 cm Adolph de Meyer photographed Grainger multiple times between 1903 and 1906—documenting the young musician’s maturation from late adolescence into adulthood. He lavished Grainger with expensive gifts and invited him to play at his many fashionable parties, paying him handsomely, an uncommon gesture among aristocrats. Emerging musicians were usually expected to play for no fee, with the exposure to potential patrons considered payment enough.

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.
