Late 1800’s early 1900’s Antique Photograph of a Young Woman

Arthur Stanhope Medrington opened an art studio at 128 Bold Street in Liverpool in the late 1870s. Like so many jobbing artists of the time, his work was largely confined to providing relatively cheap portraits of Victorian middle class families – the type of work and the type of market that the new invention of photography was ideally suited for. By the mid 1880s his work was primarily as a photographer and he opened up a new studio (the Grand Electric or Daylight Studio) at the other end of Bold Street at No. 29. He was later joined in business by his younger brother, Charles Edward, and they continued in business well into the twentieth century. It’s a beautiful photograph but strange how marked Evie on the front and Lily on the back. Reverse of photograph shows item was stored in photo album. Heavy thick card stock weight.
