Identifying a photo

Posted by Cormac Lawler on December 8, 2011 at 9:30

Hello, I hope it's ok to ask this on this forum, but can someone help me identify a photograph? It's a familiar one to me, but I've completely forgotten who the photographer is. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Cormac

    Hi Brett, that's a great tip regarding Google image searches, I used it to answer the query I posted yesterday.  The image is by Mapplethorpe and not Alvarez Bravo.  Thanks Brian

    Amazing. I had no idea it worked in that way. Thanks so much!

    Thanks so much, Graham. Of course! It's been a while since I studied 19th century photography, and Lady Clementina Hawarden's name had somehow faded from memory - like an old print...

    Very much appreciated - and just in the nick of time for the class where I'm using the image!

    Hello Cormac

    Photo is by Clementina , Lady Hawarden , probably of one of her daughters - see page 97 in Graham Ovenden's book , published in 1974 by Academy editions if you can find a copy
