About this work
Description
Photograph of the female impersonator Malcolm Scott (1872-1929), resting his chin on his hand and looking at the viewer. Scott's impersonations of famous female figures from history and popular culture were a big draw at major music halls in the days before World War I, but also included performances of pantomime dames, and comic burlesque of women popularly considered 'beauties' such as Camile Clifford. This postcard was sent by him to the actress Phyllis Broughton (1862-1926) in 1906.
Publication/Creation
[England] : The Rotary Photographic Series, 1906.
