Offering a new Fine Art quality archival pigment reprint of Elmer Chickering's portrait of actress Maude Fealy, early 1900s. This is a high quality print, unframed, approximately 7x10" on 8.5x11" archival fine art paper, suitable for matting, framing and display. Elmer Chickering (1857–1915) was a photographer specializing in portraits in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He kept a studio on West Street, and photographed politicians, actors, athletes and other public figures. Maude Fealy (1886 - 1971) was an American actress. In the first decade of the 20th century, Memphis-born Fealy became the favorite actress of the post-card and cabinet card collectors. Blessed with a gorgeous face and a tumult of dark hair, she generated a photographic legacy disproportionate to her modest skills as an actress. From the Fine Art Los Angeles Collection, a unique group of fine art photos from the pioneers of photography. Your print will not have a watermark and will be shipped safely in a rigid photo mailer for its protection. FREE SHIPPING in the U.S. Enjoy!

However, really old photographs are in black and white, so it's often hard to relate to them and see yourself in that time.
