These twins ran a Dublin photo studio where actors posed like movie stars between takes. They snapped Guy Little mid-smile in 1900, his velvet coat catching the gaslight, proof that a stage face could also be a studio face. Hunt down this portrait at the National Gallery of Ireland; it’s the door to their world of velvet collars, gaslight and quick grins.
