One is the current princess of Greece and one is married to a Getty and the other is married to another prince. Google Miller Sisters and get all the info! Yes, I too buy all those books when I visit a mansion museum, Will be putting more up all the time, just when you think you have every book, there's always more. This photo reminds me of a Sargent painting,one of my favorite artists along with Boldini. Another good new book is " The Society Portrait"Gary Lawrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375743235145440915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028797990091655063.post-59908562459926173592010-06-20T08:29:04.073-07:002010-06-20T08:29:04.073-07:00Yes Karena, I really liked this book.
