Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor NPG 5724

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Walter Wallis

Aged about seven, Coleridge-Taylor posed for painters associated with Croydon Art Club. According to his sister, 'They put a basin on his head and a shawl round his shoulders so he looks a bit African'; but here he can be seen wearing a plain cap and tunic. Two versions of the portrait exist, painted by different artists at differing angles. This one was purchased from the composer's family.
