Vesta Tilley (Matilda Alice Powles) male impersonator, actress and pantomime star. Here in a costume of a light-coloured suit with brocade waistcoat, high collar and soft felt hat. Hands in jacket pockets. This image is on a song sheet entitled 'Sidney's holidays are in September' which pokes affectionate fun at a clerk who becomes a 'masher' or swell for one week a year.
