Portraits of Geoffrey Bevington
in the V&A album
In addition to the personal portraits below, GB also appears in a number of group photographs e.g. of croquet players on the lawn at Ivy House. There are likely to be quite a few more in the second half of the album (which I did not photograph on my visit to the V&A in March 2019). His presence in photographs naturally raises the question of who "took" the photographs, even if he developed them etc.

Two similar images of GB in woodland - Ivy House? Perhaps stereoscopic?

Enquiry about Bevington image
I'm fascinated by this image, that may be quite significant.
Do you have any further information about it? A date, perhaps (however approximate)?
A photographer? A place?
Bevington, 19 Jul (no year) (15961871883).

I think I might know who it is, but it would be good to have some supporting evidence
Geoffrey painting
I came across a reference online to the auction of a painting by Geoffrey. See e.g. here
