Lord Tennyson Elliott, Joseph John  (British, 1835-1903)Fry, Clarence Edmund  (British, 1840-1897)

Elliot and Fry were eminent portrait photographers who had a number of studios. Their portraits were reproduced subtlety and great skill by Maclure, Macdonald and Co., photo-engravers of Glasgow. The work from which this portrait is taken is Art and Literature, published monthly. Each part cost one shilling and had a photogravure frontispiece; Art and Literature is representative of the fine art periodicals produced in the closing decades of the nineteenth century.
