Photograph of Princess Elizabeth seated, hands on her lap, eyes looking upwards. She wears short-sleeved dress, necklace. When talking about his work during a broadcast in 1939, 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.’
