The background is a photograph by Manfred Kage which (apparently, for I have not seen it, only a reproduction in "Photographs '69", a secondhand book bargain) was used on the cover of an album of suites from Grieg's 'Peer Gynt' circa 1968. Manfred Kage is known for his work in microphotography - the technique of combining cameras and microscopes. Using the double exposure technique, I added a black-and-white portrait from Wykeham Studios which was made during the 1930s in London. I used a Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + an AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 G DX lens for this picture.

This is a tiny digital image discovered in an ancient file. Frustratingly I have yet to find the original print from the studio.

Still looking.

August, 1933. Left to right: Charley (47); Audrey (10); Doris (27); Allan (20); Alec (14).
