Wooley & Dow

Wooley & Dow is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Woolley & Dow ran a photo studio in Boston where actors lined up in costume, waiting for their turn to pose. Their best shot, Guy Little Theatrical Photograph, captures a clown mid-laugh, his greasepaint streaking under hot lights. If you’ve ever seen an old playbill and wondered what those performers really looked like, tap this photo, it’s the closest you’ll get.
