Title A name given to the resource Eleonora Duse Subject The topic of the resource Photography Description An account of the resource Photogravure. Photo: 19.8 x 10.9 cm Photo and card: 34.8 x 26.8 cm Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) was a much-adored star of the Italian stage who also enjoyed international acclaim. She is remembered for her roles in plays by Henrik Ibsen and Gabriele D'Annunzio. Duse is photographed here by De Meyer four years before her retirement and the photographer, who made portraits of many beautiful women, seems to be making a statement that beauty is not exclusively the preserve of the young.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown photographer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1956 Subject The topic of the resource Grainger Museum; archives; museum displays Description An account of the resource Percy Grainger stated that the Grainger Museum was intended to ‘preserve and display exhibits collected by me during the last 40 years’ including material about his personal and professional life, as well as the ‘many different aspects’ of other composers and their works. By contrast, the Music Museum would ‘preserve and exhibit things of general musical interest and things connected the general musical life of Australia’. Grainger sought out the musical collections of Professor Marshall-Hall, first Professor of Music at the University of Melbourne, as the first major acquisition for the Music Museum. After setting up the initial display for the Opening in 1938, Percy and Ella Grainger spent a further nine months at the Museum in 1955-56, working intensely to organise and enrich the exhibition contents.

Throughout the entire process Grainger worked closely with University Architect John Gawler. The first stage of the Museum was completed during Grainger’s visit to Australia in 1934-35. Grainger decided key features of the building. He chose the distinctive red bricks for their ‘rich color effect’, and specified glass bricks to create natural lighting. Grainger refused to have electricity installed in the building during his lifetime, due to fear of fire destroying the collections. He requested changes to Gawler’s ceiling and roof designs, to facilitate a second story in the future. Grainger had to leave Australia to continue his concert career prior to the completion of this first stage. Percy and Ella Grainger returned in 1938 to continue work on the second stage. The Museum officially opened on 10 December 1938, with 250 guests in attendance to view the building and the display of ‘manuscripts of musical works, musical instruments, paintings, and personal effects of composers’. https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/21b07895ca80eb633f1d1c4d37913d7e.tif d8e8b8b1b1d91769427973ece3bda960 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.
