This one shows the four sons, anti-clockwise from top-right and by age: John, Richard,Peter and David. This one is simply described as 'Hook family' on the reverse, but can be dated and the sitters identified by the other photograph, which was clearly taken at the same sitting and is dated Dec 1924 and has all their names. I am struck by the rather sweet pull-along monkey and the striking, even alarming, polar bear skin! The studio appeared to read as "Kanige West, Rochester". This will be Rochester, Kent, UK as the family were living in Kent at that time. Further research (see comments) has now identified this as Karise West.
