Unidentified photographer. The Dolmetsch Family and Friends, mid-1930s. Silver-gelatine photograph. The Grainger Archive includes numerous photographs of musical ensembles and orchestras that follow a familiar formula: instrumentalists in formal attire standing/ sitting in a row. This photograph of the Dolmetsch family, influential in the revival of early music, is refreshing in its unorthodoxy and the carefully structured composition, reminiscent of paintings of court musicians. |
