Signed by each in bold, dark fountain pen inks with their names alone to clear areas of the image. Signed photographs by all six children of King George V and Queen Mary are extremely rare owing to Prince John's tragically early death from an epileptic seizure at the age of 13. Neatly laid down, VG
