Part of James Gardiner Collection: photograph album labelled ‘Drag’.

Whole length in profile to left. Publicity postcard of a professional female impersonator, circa 1910. Although no record seems to have survived of Clem Matthews' life or work, this photograph reveals a rather plain man dressed in a superb random-pleated formal gown with large sleeves, as worn in the 1890s
