Henry Walter Barnett, Margot Harrison, London, 1913.

Platinotype.

This very frank portrait of Grainger's fiance contrasts the soft focus images of many of Barnett's contemporaries. He has recorded fine details of costume and environment, and printed the photograph as a tonally rich platinotype, eliciting a strong sense of realism.
