Group of 3 unsigned Snapshot Photographs, showing them in the grounds at Sandringham, in the first the Princes, wearing sailor suits and with a satchel slung across the shoulder, are shown standing with Finch, all full length, full or nearly full face, their pet dog in front; in the second Finch has one knee on the grass and the dog perched on the other; in the third the dog looks on at Hansell (on the right) who has Prince Edward on his shoulder, and Finch who has Prince Albert (George VI) on his, 3¾" x 3" or 3¼" x 4", [Sandringham], no date, circa traces of laying down by blank versos

Frederick Finch and Henry Hansell both accompanied Prince Edward to Magdalen, Oxford, in 1912, and the Prince kept Finch on as his butler. This snapshot must have come from an album in the Royal Household, probably Hansell's.
