Description

This theatrical depiction of Edward Gordon Craig, fits his image of a stage set designer. Dramatically, he stands under a black cape looking outward from a dark comer in front of a closed door. The light reflected from his face makes it the focal point of the image. Adding to the drama is the shadow that the figure casts on the dimly lit door. The image is included in the book of the photographer's work, Edward Steichen: Lives in Photography.
