Alfred Lunt (August 12, 1892 – August 3, 1977), American stage director and actor, often identified for a long-time professional partnership with his wife, actress Lynn Fontanne. Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre was named for them. Original, 8 x 10 glossy photograph from the 1954 play 'Quadrille.' Credited to the iconic Vandamm photographic studios.
Lunt received two Tony Awards, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for 1931's 'The Guardsman' and an Emmy Award for the Hallmark Hall of Fame's production of 'The Magnificent Yankee.'
London-born Florence Vandamm (1883-1966) was from 1925 to 1950 the photographer of record for Broadway. From 1930 to 1950 Vandamm Studio chronicled over 2,000 productions. In their latter years the couple's instinct for what would work on stage became legendary. A frown from Tommy Vandamm (Husband) foretold dire things, and a smile from Florence (Wife) was surety of success.
Verso bears original Vandamm credit stamping, 'Quadrille' stamping, NY Public Library stampings and handwritten notations and IDs. Printed on a heavy-weight gloss stock. In very good condition with light signs of wear and handling.
