NEW - Sandra Lousada

Our latest collection extends a tradition here at Mary Evans of representing outstanding 20th century photographers such as Roger Mayne, Shirley Baker and Tim Mercer. Add to this group internationally renowned photographer Sandra Lousada, who has worked as a theatre photographer, portraitist and in the worlds of fashion, beauty and advertising over a career spanning more than half a century. Her grandfather was the writer and politician A.P. Herbert, and her mother was influential stage designer Jocelyn Herbert. Sandra grew up in the world of the arts, film, literature and theatre, and through photography found her own creative language. Her subjects include artists David Hockney and Henry Moore, 1960s models Jean Shrimpton and Celia Hammond, presenter Paula Yates, singers Cilla Black and Kiki Dee, and musician Evelyn Glennie.

Murray's Cabaret Club Exhibition

An exhibition and sale of original costume designs for Murray's Cabaret Club is currently on at the Century Club off London's Shaftesbury Avenue.

Murray's was a notorious jazz and revue club which opened in 1913 on Beak Street, Soho. The club and its extravagant dance shows flourished, and by the 1960s royal clientele rubbed shoulders with the Krays and hostesses Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies. The risqué costumes were designed and perfected on paper before seamstresses made up each intricate outfit.

We represent the collection for all areas of licensing and were donning our feathered headdresses for the exhibition's opening last week. The images can be viewed on our website, but for a peek at the originals book your tickets to the exhibition here.
