Entitled "Patrick_Gervais" and found on a Flickr page which now seems to have vanished. Lucky Cecil if it was one of his.
John,
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed it is. As I said a neverending story! He photographed them at his Reddish House. I can get the exact day and add'l info for you if you would like. Gaye
There's no such thing as too much Beaton!
ReplyDeleteI re-read his diaries all the time!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out, especially from a writer of a blog of such distinction.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by 20th century photographers.
I think your site is very well done... I love the look & the viewpoint.
Belated thanks for the confirmation! And the relevant information would be most welcome, thanks, in case I need to refer to the picture in future.
