Portrait of Alan Alexander Milne Alan Alexander Milne,  A Gallery of Children — Barbara's Birthday (1925)

“ Susan and Barbara weren't ready for it. They were both eating, and both had their elbows on the table. It would be a terrible thing if the photograph came out in the paper like that. Couldn't the man take another one?
Helen said, No, it was the last one he had. He had been taking photographs all the day of "Scenes in the Village on the Occasion of Miss Barbara's Sixth Birthday" and he only had two left when he came to the house. One was "A Corner of the Stables Taken from the North Side of the Lake," and the other was "Miss Barbara Entertains a Few Friends to Tea, reading from left to right."
