Harlip was a photographic studio specializing in celebrity portraits and based in London. Until 1937, the Harlip studio had its headquarters on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Afterwards, the Harlips left Berlin due to the growing crackdown on Jewish businesses and moved to London. After Dr. Harlip’s death in 1945, Mrs. Harlip continued the business there as one of the great socialite photographers of the 1950s. | src La Gazette Drouot
