EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of men's fashion in 1895. The image showcases Alfred Hickman, a talented American actor, portraying the character Little Billee in the play Trilby, which was based on George Du Maurier's renowned novel. Taken by Napoleon Sarony in New York City during that same year, this sepia-toned portrait exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. Hickman stands tall with confidence, donning a dapper tuxedo complete with a crisp collar and a perfectly tied bowtie. His late 19th-century attire is meticulously detailed; from his stylish lapel to his well-groomed moustache, every element reflects the fashion trends of the time. The actor strikes a pose while holding a cigarette delicately between his fingers, adding an intriguing touch to the composition. This subtle hint at rebellion contrasts beautifully with his refined appearance. The sepia tones lend an antique charm to this timeless image, transporting us back to turn-of-the-century America. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured by Granger Art on Demand for The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over time but continues to be influenced by iconic figures like Alfred Hickman and their portrayal of characters that transcend generations.
