Additional Description

Immediate Source of Acquisition

This photograph was transferred in September 2022 by Bonham's who had received some documents from the estate of Forster's friend and biographer, P.N. Furbank, for sale. Because of the stamp on the back of the photograph ('King's Coll. Libr. Camb.') the owner allowed it to be sent it back to the College.
