Often only one photograph is available in print. In the case of well-known composers or writers, only one major source is usually given. Links to websites or archival sources are usually given only when no other photograph is known to have been published.
A separate list at the bottom of the page gives the names of people for whom no photograph has yet been found. The author would be very grateful to be informed of any serendipitous discoveries. Unfortunately, im most cases, the likelihood of locating a photograph is very low. Due to copyright restrictions, it is not possible to reproduce the photographs found in the sources listed on this site; links to photographs available on the internet are provided in some cases. Additional photos can be easily found with Google Images. Links to the relevant pages on the website of the National Portrait Gallery (London) are provided for the items in their possession.
