This bust is at Althorp, Northamptonshire, England. The home of Earl Spencer.
I contacted them several times earlier this year asking for photographs or failing that permission to visit and photograph the bust myself but they insist that I either pay them £240 to employ a photographer or they could (possibly) supply me with an (in their words) not very good quality photograph for £30. Both offers I was able to politely refuse.
