Andy Paterson. Sincerely yours Andy Paterson 1921

Download the full-sized image of Andy Paterson in drag. Photographic postcard, 1921.

Part of James Gardiner Collection: photograph album labelled ‘Drag’.

Andy Paterson wears white fox fur and a fluffy 'Marcel' waved wig. The quality of this drag, and the very professional make-up would indicate that Andy is not an amateur; quite possibly a member of the 'Splinters' troupe led by Reg Stone (see Wellcome Library no. 2044972i), at this point possibly at the height of their popularity
