This picture was discovered by John Whistler of Oregon, USA in a copy of The Military Philosophers. The inscription on the reverse indicates that the people are (L to R): BH, Anthony Powell, Lady Violet Powell, Judy Scott-Fox, Lady Rachel Billington (back to camera). The photograph is dated 14 September 1969. It was taken in black & white by Kevin Billington using a Rolliflex. The setting is the garden of Kevin & Rachel Billington's house in Dorset. Lady Rachel Billington is the daughter of Frank, Lord Longford, so a niece of AP & Lady Violet. Having worked with Peter Cook at The Establishment Club in Soho, Judy Scott-Fox moved to California where she became a film/theatre/literary agent; she was at one time Kevin Billington's agent. She died of cancer in 1998. BH is almost certainly Bevis Hillier, biographer of Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman and editor of The Connoisseur. My thanks to John Powell, Rachel Billington, Eric Dickens, Tony Rushton (Art Director of Private Eye), Steve Mann, John Perry for their help with the full attribution of this picture.
