Lotte Meitner-Graf

Lotte Meitner-Graf (1899-1973) was a noted Austrian black and white portrait photographer.

Meitner-Graf moved to England with her family in 1937, opening her own studio at 23 Old Bond Street in London in 1953.[1][2][3][4] Frisch, in his Times obituary, noted that there "can be few educated people who have not seen one of Lotte Meitner-Graf’s photographic portraits, either on a book jacket (for instance, Bertrand Russell’s autobiography, or Antony Hopkins’s Music all around me) or on a record sleeve or concert programme."[5]

She photographed Albert Schweitzer, musicians Marion Anderson, Klemperer and Menuhin; actors John Gielgud and Danny Kaye; and scientists Lord Blackett, William Lawrence Bragg, Dorothy Hodgkin, and Max Perutz.[5]
