<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 244348, member: 44"]Langfier, Ltd. did many portraits of show business personalities such as actresses, comics, music hall performances, etc.. as well as of royalty, Shakespeare actors to the Shakespeare Memorial National Memorial Theatre Ball of 1912 and of Herbert Hoover who would be the future 31st president of the USA. Langfier Ltd was founded by a Frenchman Langfier. It was active from 1899 to 1941. Following is a link to 4 pages of Langfier photos in the British National Portrait Gallery. Clicking the thumbnails enlargest the pic with info on the personalities. I quickly skimmed through a few pages and didn't see this particular photo. I think these women are doing scene from Shakespeare. At the moment not sure which one. Nowwww the 18th photo down on the 2nd page titled "<font size="4">Grace (née Blackburn), Countess of Wemyss as Katherine of Aragon" might??? be, again might be, the older woman in your pic.</font></p><p><font size="4"><a href="http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person?LinkID=mp61604&wPage=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person?LinkID=mp61604&wPage=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person?LinkID=mp61604&wPage=0</a></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">--- Susan</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
