Frederick Hollyer
Frederick Hollyer is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Frederick Hollyer made crisp, black-and-white portraits of performers and writers around the turn of the 1900s. His lens caught actors mid-role and authors at their desks, freezing the early 20th-century stage and print world in slow, silver halide. Look closely at Guy Little Theatrical Photograph—Hollyer’s sharp focus leaves every collar stud and playbill crease sharp enough to count. Tap the print to trace one more vanished face back to the gas-lit footlights of London’s West End.
