[Photographie] Portrait photographique de Richard Wagner

Original cabinet card format photograph. Silver gelatin bromide print.
Photograph mounted on rigid cardboard. Photographer's advertisement on verso and lower margin.
Medium photographic portrait of composer Richard Wagner who made a third journey to London in 1877 to conduct several concerts intended to fill the financial chasm of Bayreuth; he was on this occasion presented to Queen Victoria. It was during this trip that he had himself photographed at Elliott & Fry who had an address on Baker Street. He undoubtedly used this print for his promotion.
