The photograph of King George VI was taken by Hugh Cecil (Hugh Cecil Saunders), circa 1942, (see National Portrait Gallery Collection ref NPG x71198).

He served as an apprentice with the Sevenoaks photographer H. Essenhigh Corke and moved to London in 1912, setting up as a portrait photographer under the professional name of Hugh Cecil. His photographs appeared regularly in the Sketch and Tatler. His early style was characterised by an elegant simplicity. The Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) sat for him in 1925, the first of many royal sittings. Cecil's pupils included Paul Tanqueray and Angus McBean. This photograph, of Queen Elizabeth (later styled 'The Queen Mother') was taken by Wilding on 12 January 1937 (see National Portrait Gallery Collection ref NPG P870(4). Dorothy Wilding (1893-1976) was a British photographer from Gloucester and the first female royal photographer.
