Photograph of an unknown woman by the White Studio of New York City, C0480, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries.
Purchased by Lynn Eaton in 2019.
The White Studio was a popular photography studio in New York City during the early part of the 20th century. The studio, founded by Luther White in the 1890s, was renowned for its entertainment photography, both of productions and individuals.
Silver gelatin print photograph of an unknown woman by the White Studio of New York City from the late 1910s or early 1920s. The photograph features a white woman in elegant garb from the chest up. Because the White Studio was famed for its photography of entertainers of the day, it is safe to assume this woman worked in the entertainment industry, likely Broadway, at the time. On the back of the photograph is a stamp from the White Studio.
