George Seeley, almost as young as Alvin Langdon Coburn, was a relative latecomer to the Photo-Secession, joining the group in 1907. The next year he had a one-person exhibition at the Photo-Secession galleries. The enigmatic quality of Seeley’s work is evident in the otherworldly figure and auras of light in The Firefly. [1]
