The
photograph
by John M Whitehead appeared in Photographs of the Year from 1900 to
1920. He photographed romantic images, often of Scottish
scenes. [Kirk V Toft]
He
was one of three judges for the EPS International Exhibition held in
February 1928, and featured in one of the poems to be found in EPS
literature: Reflections
on Mr Murch's Recent Lecture.
The
poem is written to the tune of bagpipe music. The last verse reads:
If
you can do just half the things I’ve mentioned,
Or
even one or two supremely well,
You’ll
be a downright regular Royal Fellow -
A
Whitehead-Mortimer-Murch-McKissock-Dell.
