Artist
Fradelle & Leach
Fradelle & Leach is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Fradelle & Leach hid behind their camera. Working in late 1800s London, they roamed backstage at theaters, snapping portraits of actors in costume before the play started. Their photos feel like stolen moments: a comedian mid-laugh in a rumpled wig, a tragedian half-lit by a single gas lamp. You’ll find their prints tucked inside old playbills in the British Library. Look for the Guy Little Theatrical Photograph series—small, square, and packed with gritty stage magic.
