It was 1939, and it was in April and May so that they had debutante presentations early and late that year, March and June. But the film might not have been developed, or they may have made more prints to sell in 1941?
Thank you.
I'm not sure it was a commercial print: that's one of the reasons it interested me. It's a good close-up of its subjects, but it's also got weird angles on the crowd and some other dignitaries being blocked from sight by scrubby conifers. I poked around Google Image when I got home to see if it had been reproduced online, but while I could find other pictures from the same tour, not that one. I'll try to scan it (carefully) and put it up later this week.
(That was the tour where MacKenzie King was PM of Canada, and the PM of Alberta was Mr Queen, so they had the King, the Queen, Mr King, Mr Queen, and his wife Mrs Queen, which made for some funny moments of radio commentary.)
Okay, that's wonderful.
They didn't leave Britain in 1941 because they were busy looking the East End in the eye.
I had that conversation with the dealer! I thought the photograph had to be just pre-war, he said during, the date on the back didn't settle the argument. I feel vindicated in my average knowledge of World War II now.
