Two actors pose on stage: a man wearing top hat and tails gazes down at a man in drag. Photographic postcard, 192-.
The man in drag is seated wearing white, and the man in the top hat wears a monocle and tilts the seated man's head upwards. Amateur theatricals in South London (judging from an inscription on the verso), mid-1920s. The 'lady' sports fashionably shingled hair and a 'headache band' bandeau worn low on the forehead with a short feather aigrette
Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.
