| 説明 | Cabinet card.Studio of Bertram Chevalier, The Art Studio, 45, Grange Road, Ramsgate.Bought from an eBay seller in Paralimni, Cyprus.Bertram Chevalier was the brother of comedic actor Albert Chevalier, who is most famous for the music hall song My Old Dutch (1892) - ♫ www.youtube.com/watch?v=crP2YkRTRKg ♫ - composed by another brother, Charles Ingle (Auguste Chevalier).At some point Bertram Chevalier was trading under the name of "B. Knight". Albert Chevalier, in his autobiography BEFORE I FORGET (1902) relates this episode:Some years ago, my brother Bertram, trading under the name of Knight, was in business as a photographer, in the West End. One day a "sitter," whose portrait had just been taken, walked out of the studio into an adjoining waiting-room, where, on the walls, hung a number of my photographs, in various characters. Casually casting his eye round, the gentleman remarked, "Good likenesses of Chevalier. I know him very well indeed. Ah! he's got on hasn't he? Why I remember the time when he and his father used to go round with a barrow. Many a cabbage he's supplied us with in the old days!" Not a word was said until the ''well-informed" gentleman was about to take his leave. Then my brother said, "I shall be seeing Albert at the Pavilion to-night. He'll be interested in what you have just told me. Would you mind giving me the address of his old customers?" "Who's Albert?" queried the knowing one. "My brother, Albert Chevalier." The gentleman picked up his hat, and made a wild rush out into the street. My brother lost a customer. He did not call back for his photos, as he had arranged to do.- www.archive.org/stream/beforeiforgetaut00chevrich#page/15...The book includes many character portraits photographed by "B. Knight" ie. Bertram Chevalier. |
