Footnotes

  • A FINE LARGE-FORMAT PHOTOGRAPH OF THE QUEEN ON HER GOLDEN JUBILEE: she has clearly had difficulty writing on the shiny surface of the photographic paper, and the last digit seems to have originally been written as an '8', no doubt as an inadvertent repetition of the previous two digits, which she has then corrected: the commoner variant of this photograph, taken by the well-known Dublin photographer Lafayette (James Stack Lauder), shows the Queen seated.
