Mary Georgina Filmer

Lady Mary Georgina Filmer (née Cecil, 4 April 1838 – 17 March 1903) was an early proponent of the art of photographic collage.

[1][2] A Victorian socialite, Lady Filmer produced several albums consisting of watercolour scenes decorated with photomontages.

[3] One of her works[4] (from the so-called Filmer Album) depicts a drawing room, painted in watercolour, in which she has added photographic cut-outs from albumen silver prints.

She positions herself next to a large figure of the Prince of Wales, with whom she was known to flirt.

Much smaller, Sir Edmund Filmer, her husband, is seated next to a pet dog.
