BODIE, Walford (1869 – 1939). Two Lobby Photographs of the “Electrical Wizard.” Circa 1905. In one image, Bodie sits at the front of a horse-drawn wagon, its sides painted with the text, “Dr. Bodie Tonight,” as it rests in front of the Palace Theatre, Dundee, with Bodie playbills framed beside the door and a skull-and-crossbones banner hung above the entrance; in the second, he sits in his laboratory, amidst what appear to be a variety of magnetos, light bulbs, and other electrical devices. Closer examination reveals many of the articles in the scene to be painted in place or retouched, not actual scientific equipment. Framed, the larger 14 ¼ x 17 ¼”. Visibly worn, chipped, and tattered, but not examined out of frames. See Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women, pp. 126 and 145.
