(1858 - 1938)
From at least 1927 to 1936, just two years before his death, William Slade Stuart was working as a photographer in Richmond, Surrey. He took numerous portrait photographs of British and European Royals. Among those now in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, are portraits of Princess Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck; King Manuel II of Portugal; Alfonso XIII, King of Spain; and Victoria Eugenie ('Ena') of Battenberg, Queen of Spain. Stuart died at the age of 80 and was buried in Richmond Cemetery, alongside Maria Westcombe Stuart, presumably his wife, who had died 11 years earlier at the age of 69.
