Two men in drag, one wearing a detailed feathered head garment, pose for a portrait. Photographic postcard by F. Wood, 190-.
The men are wearing very elaborate costumes and are standing in front of a painted backdrop. Private theatricals at Dudley, Worcestershire, circa 190-. One man wears what appears to be an early Victorian wig with side ringlets, and is possibly dressed as Sairey Gamp in Charles Dickens's novel 'Martin Chuzzlewit'
Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.
