Miss Compton Collier (active 1910s-1950s)
Artist of 12 portraits
Miss Compton Collier began taking photographs while at school. She lived in Hampstead, London, and for over fifty years she spent the summer months touring the English countryside photographing her subjects. They were mostly aristocratic families, alongside the occasional actor or actress. Each spring she would send to people of high rank an itinerary of her summer tour stating that she would be in the neighbourhood during a certain week in case she were needed for an at-home sitting. Examples of her work were published in almost every copy of the Tatler and Sketch magazines during the 1910s and 1920s.
