Molly McCann
Portrait of Molly McCann, daughter of South Australia's Trade Commissioner and Agent General in London, Sir Charles McCann. Information provided with the photo suggests that the photograph was taken at the time of her presentation to King George VI (she was presented to the monarch as part of the coronation celebrations in January 1938); but Molly and her mother were also presented to the court in May 1932. While this photo could be from either date, it is assumed to be the earlier one.
