Photograph of the photographer Marcus Adams, seated, with his right arm over the back of a chair, facing the viewer. Marcus Adams (1875-1959), pictured here wearing his artist’s smock, opened his Children’s Studio in London in 1920. At the time this portrait was taken, he was secure in the knowledge that the studio was flourishing and that he had established himself as the leading child photographer of the day. Please note: This is a modern inkjet print from an original negative taken by the photographer on 31 March 1927.
