About this photograph

Carl Van Vechten photographed Philip Langner in 1932, when Langner was about six years old. The archive record identifies him as the son of Lawrence Langner and Armina Marshall, and notes that he later worked as a theater and film producer.

The photograph is a gelatin silver print, a widely used photographic process of the period. Van Vechten made many portraits during the 1930s, though the record provides no further detail about the circumstances of this sitting or the relationship between photographer and subject.
