Title A name given to the resource Ella and Percy Grainger, early 1930s Subject The topic of the resource Photograph Description An account of the resource Sepia toned silver gelatin print. This complex photographic composition captures a fleeting moment of intimacy between Ella Grainger and her husband. Ella’s expression and body language suggest adoration, whereas Percy’s attention is turned inward in an intense moment of contemplation. This is also an image full of information. The building behind—Ella’s cottage ‘Lilla Vran’ on the Sussex coast in England—is constructed in an intriguing manner. To the right of the couple, pebble-dash covers brickwork, but to the left, regular coursing of river pebbles are concreted between brick quoins. Ella and Percy’s dress is interesting—almost timeless. They could be a pair of middle-aged ‘hipsters’ photographed in 2017. Percy’s Mary-Jane shoes are not as feminine as they appear, however. It was not uncommon for men to wear them in the 1930s.

Photo: 21.1 x 16 cm Photo and card: 25.2 x 20.2 cm Although taken in a formal studio setting, this photograph was certainly not meant for promotional purposes. Grainger had his portrait taken by Mary Dale Clark on a number of occasions over a period of years including while he was enlisted in the army. Clark was a self-styled mystic who used photography to ‘look for the spirit within’ her sitters. Grainger was aware of the photograph’s capacity to look past the constructed façade and capture the essence of a subject’s psychological and emotional inner-world.
