About this photograph
This photograph shows Mary Nead, a performer at the Alhambra Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The portrait was taken in June 1912 and bears her autograph, added later in Oakland, California.
The image was created by Guttenstein of Milwaukee, associated with the Alhambra Theatre. Beyond the performer's name and workplace, the record provides no further details about Mary Nead or her career in vaudeville or theatre.
The photograph is now held by the Internet Archive, having been digitised through California Revealed, a statewide programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. The California connection reflects where the photograph was later preserved and digitised rather than where it was originally taken.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
