Summary
Studio photograph, head and shoulders, of a young man with moustache, the Hon. Cecil Agar-Robartes, 1892-1939, wearing dark jacket and tie, with pale waistcoat and carnation in his buttonhole, his arms folded. c.1913 See also LAN.PH.1663, LAN.PH.5009.8, LAN.PH.5015.8, LAN.PH.5072 and LAN.PH.5073. One of eight photographs in folding leather frame, plastic missing.
Provenance
As there is no photograph of the Hon. Everilda Agar-Robartes, this frame could possibly have belonged to her. It would have then come to the National Trust on her death in 1969. The Hon. Gerald Agar-Robartes, 7th Viscount Clifden, gave Lanhydrock to the National Trust in 1953 and continued to live there with his sisters, Everilda and Violet, until his death in 1966.
