Photograph of Princess Margaret, almost full length, facing front, looking to right, holding flower. The Princess was ten months old when she was photographed by Marcus Adams in June 1931. When talking about his work, Adams said: 'The one essential of a perfect picture is simplicity. The delightful simplicity of a child calls for a simple pictorial statement. The child should be the dominant part of your composition, and nothing in the way of clutter and furniture is necessary.'
