Description
Toned silver gelatin print.
Photo: 24.1 x 19.0 cm
Photo and frame: 30.3 x 24.3 cm
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.
