This is an edited copy of an undated portrait photograph of the actress Miss Joyce Moore, probably c. mid-1920s, from the studio of Claude Harris (1883-1961) at 122-124 Regent Street, W.1. A 'snippet' from the British Journal of Photography, Vol 87, 1941 — as found at rootschat.com: "Scrutator has had a visit from Claude Harris. The older generation of photographers will remember the Claude Harris studio in Regent Street, London. Claude Harris worked up a large connection in the theatrical world, photographing many celebrated actors and actresses. He was one of the pioneers of lighting portraits with a 1500-watt lamp. What made it so difficult to light with a series of high-power bulbs was the fact that in those early days all lamps were controlled by the same switch — the lights were either all on or all off. Nevertheless, remarkable work was done. Claude Harris fought in the Boer War, went through the Great War, in the Navy, then emigrated to Australia. He has now retired."
