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.
