    Elegance on Stage: Early 20th Century Actress Elsie Ferguson

    $19.95

    This photograph features Miss Elsie Ferguson, an acclaimed stage actress of the early 20th century. Born in 1884, Ferguson gained recognition for her performances in both Broadway productions and silent films, becoming one of the leading ladies of her time. She was particularly known for her captivating performances in plays written by greats like Eugene ONeill and for her role in the 1917 film adaptation of Social Register. The period captured in this photograph represents a significant era in theater, as the transition from silent films to talkies began to shape the entertainment industry.

    The image was published by Bain News Service on December 8, likely around the height of Fergusons career. This was a time when photography was evolving, making it easier to capture high-quality portraits of public figures. Glass negatives like this one were a common medium, allowing for sharp details and rich contrasts, which were especially important for portrait photography during that era. This specific portrait not only serves as documentation of an artists image but also reflects the broader cultural shifts occurring in the world of entertainment during the early 1900s. Understanding Fergusons contributions to theater can help us appreciate the evolution of performance art and its lasting influence on modern entertainment.
