Charles Frederick Grindrod (1847-1910) Sir Edward Elgar, c.1903
Vintage bromide print, image size 38 x 30cm. Housed in its original frame, overall measuring 55.5 x 47cm, with painted caption along the bottom reading "Sir Edward Elgar, O.M. / Formerly a Member of This Club / Portrait by Dr. C. F. Grindrod, Also a Member."
A print of this image is held by the National Portrait Gallery, London (ref.NPG x11894), though in the collection's cataloguing, it notes that "Unusually, the negative was printed in reverse to produce this print. The image appears on the front cover of Jerrold Northrop Moore’s book, Elgar: A Life in Photographs (1972)."
As noted in the caption on the present print, this frame hung in the Malvern Club, of which both sitter and photographer were members.
