NOTES: This image is part of a photo shoot for Woman’s Own magazine in November and December of 1957. Alma Cogan’s flat was known to be 44 Stafford Court, Kensington High Street, London, but an office note in the photographer’s daybook gives the location as Seymour Place. So whether this is actually in her Kensington flat and there is a mistake in the daybook, or whether this was a set-up elsewhere is unclear.

NOTES: The Royal Pavilion was built as a seaside retreat for the then Prince Regent (later King George IV). Originally the 'Marine Pavilion', a Neo-Classical building designed by Henry Holland and completed in 1787, it was transformed into this Indian style building by John Nash in 1815-1822. Using new technology, Nash enlarged the building and added the domes and minarets by superimposing a cast iron framework over Holland's pavilion.

NOTES: This drawing is believed to be a copy after Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, who built the house on Rue de la Chausee d'Antin for Madmoiselle Guimard between 1770 and 1773. The inscription reads 'Monsr. Perrejaux's dining room'.

NOTES: This image is from a volume of drawings (entitled Vol I) by various designers produced for or presented to the Quarto Imperial Club, London, between 1889 and 1891. The design was probably intended to illustrate a paper entitled 'The Internal Treatment of Domestic Windows', by Albert Howells.
