George Hommel (American, 1901-1953). “Fay Wray, Paramount player, as ‘The Lady of Shalott’ by Tennyson.” Photograph with nine lines from Tennyson’s poem on the back.
One of the finest studio and stills photographers of his day, Hommel began his career as an assistant cameraman to silent film director Edwin Carewe. Much in demand by studios such as Paramount and Republic, he served as a stills photographer on many memorable films including The Wizard of Oz and Charlie Chaplin’s Limelight. (There is no record of “The Lady of Shalott” with Fay Wray ever being produced.)
