James Lafayette was the pseudonym of James Stack Lauder (1853–1923). [1] He was a late Victorian and Edwardian portrait photographer, and managing director from 1898 to 1923 of a company in Dublin specializing in society photographs, Lafayette Ltd. [1] In 1887, he became the first Irish photographer to be granted a royal warrant. [2]
While thousands of images were credited to Lafayette studios, only those 649 photographs which were registered for copyright bear his signature as author. [2] These are now held in the Public Record Office, in Kew, London. [2] The Lafayette Collection at London's Victoria & Albert Museum consists of 3,500 glass plate and celluloid negatives. [3] A further collection of 30,000 to 40,000 nitrate negatives is at London's National Portrait Gallery. [3] Further collections are in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle; and in private hands in Dublin. [2]
