Earle E. Liederman and the rest of the man-builders may shortly find themselves with a royal client. George V, by the grace of God King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India and so forth, has finally taken a good look at himself as others see him and is evidently ill pleased at the spectacle. The royal portrait by Charles Simms, R.A., which was recently exhibited in New York has been withdrawn from the Royal Academy by official request from Buckingham Palace...
