I found the Cecil Beaton exhibition at the NPG unexpectedly wide-ranging.  Of course, I pretty well knew many of the images of the Bright Young Things of the 1920s, including the likes of Dadie Rylands; but I didn’t know that he lost his job at Vogue in 1938 after making an anti-semitic comment; nor the quality of his work in the Second World War.

There are lots of photographs of Beaton himself and an exceptionally beautiful pencil drawing of him by David Hockney at his most Ingres-like:-
