"I like to make people look as good as they'd like to look, and with luck, a shade better." - Norman Parkinson

The "Brogue" stamp that appears on the reverse of this photograph is a contraction of British Vogue, and was a nickname bestowed affectionately upon the magazine to distinguish it from its American antecedent. Photographs produced for the magazine frequently bear this stamp.
