About This Item
London: Lafayette, 1940. Soft cover. Good. This is a Second World War society photographic print of a naval office by Lafayette of New Bond Street. Undated, c1940. The sitter is Commander Julian Liddell (1904-1946). He became Fleet Wireless Officer in 1938, and captained HMS Sheffield from November 1944 to January 1945. He died aboard HMS Newfoundland in 1946 when the ship was caught in a violent storm off the coast of NSW. A large wave slammed him against the ship's breakwater and the foremost six-inch turret and although crew members were able to bring him to safety, he died without regaining consciousness. Lafayette Photography were founded in Dublin in 1880 and in the twentieth century were hugely successful in photographing society portraits including the Royal Family. Condition: The mount measures 28 × 20.5, the image is 18 × 13.5cm. There is some light tanning to the mount but otherwise this is in good condition. It is not framed or glazed.
