Portrait of Lord Alfred Douglas, taken in Cairo. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Inscribed in ink on paper mount: 'Alfred Douglas (aged 23). In opem me copia fecit.'
Genre: Portrait Photography
Three-quarter length portrait of Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas (1870-1945), poet and companion of Oscar Wilde, seen seated at a table in half-right profile. The paper mount is also inscribed in pencil, 'Copyright,' followed by an undeciphered name. A note in pencil on an accompanying loose sheet of paper reads, 'On 3rd floor - in 'oversize' Wilde folder. Douglas at time of meeting with Shaw at Café Royal. Inscribed by Douglas. From G. B. Shaw Collection.' This appears to be a later copy from an original print.
