The image is of a en:photogravure. It was produced by en:Emery Walker PLC, from a portrait made by Elliot & Fry PLC of 55 Baker St, London (1864-1963). Joseph John Elliott (1835-1903) and Clarence Edmund Fry's (1840-1897) company finally amalgamated with Bassano and Vandyck PLC in 1964 (Michael Pritchard, A directory of London photographers 1841-1908, Watford: PhotoResearch, 1994). The portrait was likely commissioned by en:Bernard Pyne Grenfell. The signatures of all three parties are visible below the portrait itself. The portrait depicts the subject of the article en:Bernard Pyne Grenfell, who is a person of public interest. No free replacement can be made because the subject is deceased. Additionally, the company's studio was bombed during WWII, and the majority of the early negatives were destroyed ('Elliott and Fry (floruit 1864-1963)' [Internet], London: National Portrait Gallery, 2004). It is also worthy of note that the picture was probably made prior to 1920. Grenfell was born in 1869, so over 50 years old in 1920. In 1920, a recurrent illness saw him retire to Murray's Royal Mental Hospital, where he spent the remaining six years of his life (Bell HI. 'Bernard Pyne Grenfell'. In JRH Weaver (ed.). Dictionary of National Biography 1922 - 1930. Oxford University Press). The photogravure technique was displaced by more expedient gelatin methods by the 20s. Both Elliot and Fry died over 100 years ago. It is likely that copyright has expired.
