I’ve received this inquiry in this afternoon’s email. I’m sure I’ve seen a photo of Philip MacDonald on one of his book jackets, but so far I haven’t come across it. I found this one on the Internet, but this is the one that Charles already has. Anyone else?
My name is Charles Seper, and I’m currently working on a film documentary of Philip MacDonald’s author grandfather — George MacDonald. I intend to make mention of Philip in the movie also.
My problem is finding a good photograph of him. The only one I’ve managed to procure thus far is very small and of poor quality. Do you by any chance know of any?
Philip was often asked to speak at various Hollywood functions, so I know there must be a good photo of him somewhere. I also know he wrote many books that I haven’t yet read, so I thought perhaps you might have one which has a picture of the author on the cover.
If you have any idea where I might find a photo I would much appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Charles Seper

A photo of him appeared on the jacket of The List of Adrian Messenger, as I recall.

I have a picture of him in mind dressed in tweeds. The List of Adrian Messenger is a good possibility, but I no longer own a copy in hardcover. More help needed!
