Four albumen print photographs, cabinet card format, 161 x 103 mm (mounts); rectos all with the embossed silver imprint of 'T. Duryea, 51 Rundle Street, Adelaide'; to the verso of one is a dedication inscription in ink written by the sitter which has been scratched out (possibly by a jealous later partner?), of which we can stil…l make out the words 'To [.] with best love from Jessie'; all are superb prints with beautiful tones; the mounts are clean and stable. An interesting quartet. We believe this young female performer dressed in stage costume - including gypsy attire, with a cigar - may be local Adelaide vaudeville performer Jessie Thorne, who was a member of the Elite Vaudeville Company.
