The article focuses on the design of photographer Bert Hardy's image of Queen Elizabeth II entering the Paris Opera House, in Paris, France, during a diplomatic visit. Hardy snuck into the opera with his camera, which had a narrow view, under his oversized jacket because of restrictions against the British press at the event. Hardy then took twenty pictures and had them pieced together into a montage in order to depict the entire scene. A diagram depicting how the photographs were joined is provided. A brief biographical overview of Hardy is included. Hardy's photographs were published in the "Picture Post," which went out of circulation a few weeks after Hardy's pictures appeared.

The article presents information on several books on Great Britain. The book 'Public Sculpture of the City of London,' by Philip Ward-Jackson is a fascinating compilation of all significant public sculpture within the bounds of the City of London. 'William: The People's Prince,' by Ian Lloyd is based on Prince Charles and late Princess Diana's eldest son, William, who is second in line to the British throne. Every bit as beloved as his mother was, William has a look of greatness no Britisher has had since his parents wed in the summer of 1981. INSET: RECOMMENDED.
