Whether it is the art historian and spy, Anthony Blunt, caught with a slide reflected on his eyeball, or J.R.R. Tolkien, gripped in middle earth by the vast roots of a spreading oak, British society, English writers and artists, performers and designers, nobles and commoners were caught with a new candor and style.
Snowdon caught the swinging sixties of London better than any photographer and has continued to be the poet and recorder of London as a center of artistic and creative vitality.

Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon (born March 7, 1930) is a well-known photographer, Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker, and the former husband of the Her Late Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
Biographer Sarah Bradford has written that Snowdon once left a note for Princess Margaret that said, "You look like a Jewish manicurist and I hate you." As for Princess Margaret, she was fond of pulling rank and pointing out her husband's less-than-royal origins, once correcting publicly his use of the non-U word "material" (i.e.

 Guardian | Dismay as Snowdon stays in Lords   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Earl of Snowdon has accepted a seat in the reformed House of Lords, to the astonishment of the government which had expected the former husband of Princess Margaret to follow the example of members of the royal family who have waived their right to sit in parliament.
The inclusion of the Earl of Snowdon raised eyebrows yesterday because life peerages were meant to be offered to hereditaries who have made a distinguished contribution to the Lords.
However, ministers are privately dismayed by the earl's decision, which flies in the face of the royal family's decision to turn down seats in the reformed house.

 Wikinfo | Courtesy title
For instance, the eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry is the Earl of Dalkeith, even though the Duke is also the Marquess of Dumfriesshire, a senior title to the Earldom of Dalkeith.
For instance, the eldest son of the Earl of Devon is Lord Courtenay, even though the Earl has no barony of that name, and similarly the eldest son of the Earl of Guilford is Lord North.
Thus a baron's wife is called "baroness", an earl's wife is called a "countess", a duke's wife a "duchess", etc. Despite being referred to as a "peeress", she does not, however, become a peer "in her own right": these are 'styles', not substantive titles.
