How does the former Director of the nation's greatest collection of
portraits celebrate his 80th birthday? The distinguished
photographer John Swannell and Roy Strong have devised a series of
thirty portraits that transport Roy through time, inventing and
reinventing him as an array of historical characters. With a sharp
eye for period style and dress, and flashes of a tongue-in-cheek
wit, Roy and John spent five years on a project in which he takes
on the characters of Henry VIII, Toulouse Lautrec, Rasputin,
President Lincoln and many more. The results, together with Roy's
diary relating the stories behind the sittings, make a remarkable
photographic essay of a man rightly dubbed 'Sir Portrait'.
