Scope and content
Feels that Beaton's pictures of the Princess of Berar are "among the most beautiful photographs you have ever taken in your life". The photographs of Balenciaga are wonderful. Is heartbroken that they only ever used the one news shot. Adores his pictures of Kisty and her children. Discusses another feature, to include pictures in which "one feels the buzzing animal life among the flowers". The picture of Princess Alexandra is most welcome.
