Baron (his real name Sterling Henry Nahum) (1906 - 1956) was a dance, film and celebrity photographer. In this publication he offers a fine overview of the revival of classical dance and ballet after World War Two. Baron was a personal friend of Prince Philip and took e.g. the official photographs of Elizabeth's mariage.As I bought the book in Paris and the dedication is in French, unidentified ''Bill'' must be a French connection (?).
