About this Item

Alice Emily White) by Olive Edis printed on mount front " Olive Edis F.R.P.S." /printed rear name & studio Sheringham & Ladbrooke Sq address, in ink "3rd Countess of Leicester GBE in the great library at Holkham Hall, Wells, Norfolk. Taken in 1930. D of 2nd Lord Annaly". Actual size of photograph 15 x 20 cm . Same size (slightly lighter) image in National Portrait Gallery by Eddis. Olive Edis, (Mary Olive Edis, later Edis-Galsworthy ) 1876 - 1955 is one of England's most important pioneer female photographers. Olive preferred to use natural light for her photographs, which make her portraits so natural and so well loved. Condition good, though moving and examining it under sunlight, there is a minor surface mark, some dirt to mount front/rear. She was a British photographer famous for portrait photography. With an amazing circle of Edwardian Society sitters, including aristocratic & Royalty (many Royal photographs are so natural, not the usual "stiff" portraits by most photographers). She was also the only woman photographer who served as a war artist in World War I. Also commissioned to record the work of the Women's Services at the end of the First World War. The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) holds 418 of her photographs/portraits. This is one of number of Olive's photographs I have on & will put on. They are all from Edis's studio and house in Sheringham, in Norfolk. Since her death were under the ownership of Cyril Nunn who died in 2008.and have been sold at a few auctions since. By prior arrangement I may be able show you the photograph at fairs I do in Norfolk, Long Melford & London inc. the London Photograph fairs. Please note too large for scanner.
