 : A portrait of Pamela Stanley by Angus McBean


A portrait of Pamela Stanley by Angus McBean

Pamela Stanley dressed in character as Victoria Regina, from the play of the same name. Angus McBean (1904-1990), began his career in the theatre making masks and designing sets. He took an interest in photography from an early age and from the early 1930s took it up as a profession after a stint as a window dresser in the department store, Liberty's. McBean's work was famous for being surreal and experimental, with work frequently featured in TheTatler and Bystander and The Sketch between the mid 1930s to the 1950s
