Overall; 28cm (11in) x 20.5cm (8in)

Bromide print. Inscribed in the lower mount in the Admiral of the Fleet’s hand 'Mountbatten of Burma / A.F.’ / 25th February 11th March 1969’. Image size: 18.5cm (7.3in) x 15cm (6in). Contained in easel backed, gilt tooled blue leather glazed frame by Jarrolds of Knightsbridge, London; the arched top stamped with the Garter encircling the cypher ‘M of B’ beneath an Earl’s coronet.

The present portrait was made by the Armenian-born Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) during Mountbatten’s tenure as Chief of the Defence Staff from 1959 to 1965 by which he was effectively the professional head of all three armed services.
