Mary Pickford - Lindstedt / Walturdaw Photos
Alfred Lindstedt, born in Sweden in 1877, made his way to NY, then Kansas City, and then ultimately Los Angeles, CA. He initially received recognition for for his pictorialist style, with heavy modification in the negative making some of his photographs look more like drawings, but he eventually moved into a more typical portrait style. In the 1920s, he shot for Hoover Art Co., Evans Studio, and started the Lindstedt-Phelan partnership, both of which took some wonderful Pickford portraits. Lindstedt died in 1958.
Mary Pickford portrait by Alfred Lindstedt. I do not know if the look of this photo is by mistake or if it was done for artistic effect. Of course, Lindstedt was initially known for his artistic negative modifications which he somewhat moved away from by this point, but this strange exposure very well could have been done on purpose. With that said, the print is consumed by peppering which leads me to believe it might not have been intentional. Part of NZ Photo Album.

This could almost pass for a photo by Evans, but it's another Mary Pickford portrait by Alfred Lindstedt for Walturdaw Pictures. Incidentally, Lindstedt would go on to shoot for Evans Studio several years after the death of its eponymous photographer. Part of NZ Photo Album.
