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.
