Artist
Mayer et Pierson
Mayer et Pierson is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Mayer & Pierson ran a Paris photo studio where actors slipped into costumes between takes and posed for keepsakes. They sold these portraits to fans who couldn’t afford a ticket but still wanted a souvenir of their favorite performer. Try their 1859 shot of Guy Little, he stands there in a velvet coat and fake beard like he’s just stepped off a stage, except the only curtain is the photographer’s backdrop.
Gallery Tiles keeps a batch of these so you can swipe from Mademoiselle Mars to Monsieur Odry without ever leaving your couch.
