Keeler at The Establishment

I just came across the contact sheets for the iconic 1963 photo of Christine Keeler taken at the height of the Profumo affair by Lewis Morley. The shoot took place at The Establishment, a club partly owned by Peter Cook. The famous image was apparently the very last one they took that day (top right).

Via: The V&A Museum. The chair, a thinly-masked Arne Jacobsen copy which has since been signed by Morley, is in the V&A collection. The original photograph and the contact sheets are in the National Portrait Gallery but are sadly not on display.
