This photo shows Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the High Commissioner for Pakistan Gen. Mohd. Yousuf, viewing an exhibition of Pakistani paintings in London c. 1960. Pakistan was much in the media in the UK, in a very positive sense, at the time of the royal/state visit to Pakistan in 1961.
Before the said visit, High Commissioner and Begum Zubaida Yousuf hosted a dinner party for the Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the legendary Pakistan Residence on Avenue Road in North London, a priceless - not to mention historic - property later regrettably lost to us during the tenure of a political appointee as High Commissioner.
