Summary
Sitters: Princess Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar (1867-1931); Maud, Queen of Norway (1869-1938) and Princess Victoria Alexandra of Wales (1868-1935).
The son of renowned horse painter, Harry Hall, Sydney Prior Hall was born in England and attended the University of Oxford where he graduated with a first (degree with high honors). Sydney decided he wanted to pursue a career in the arts, and after graduation he gained employment with The Graphic, an illustrated newspaper, shortly after its foundation in 1869. The Graphic was considered a major alternative to The Illustrated London News and after Sydney’s vivid visual coverage of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71, both The Graphic and Sydney Prior Hall had established their success.
