[Alice MacGowan portrait photographs]

Creator/Contributor:

Boyé, photographer.

Abstract:

Two photographic portraits of author Alice MacGowan. The earlier portrait, depicting MacGowan standing, is date-stamped 1926 but is likely a reproduction of a portrait taken approximately 1900, if not earlier. This print also bears the stamp of photographer Boyé, although another photographer may have taken the original portrait. The later image, a bust-length portrait depicting MacGowan wearing a large hat, bears annotations dated May 10, 1914 and attributions to Arnold Genthe.
