Arnold Genthe (German/American, 1869-1942) Five Photographs of the MacKaye Family, including Percy MacKaye, his brother Robert Keith MacKaye, his young daughters Arvia and Christy, and Percy and Robert with their mother, Mary.

Condition: Four of five unmounted, scattered minor accretions and light silver mirroring. Provenance: From the collection of Percy MacKaye, by descent to the current owner Marion MacKaye Ober, Massachusetts. N.B.
