ELIZABETH (The Queen Mother, 1900-2002, Queen of George VI)

Fine unsigned photo by Cecil Beaton, together with a fine signature, the photo showing her three quarters length in profile, seated on a sofa wearing a bejewelled dress and sash, 6" x 4½" in mount 8" x 5½", Buckingham Palace, together with a fine signature on a sheet of paper, 8" x 5", no place, no date

Beaton's famous photographs of Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace in 1939 established a new romantic image for the monarchy. He subsequently photographed her five times between 1947 and 1957 and deliberately tried to re-create the spirit of the 1939 image - the be-spangled crinoline dress with lots of diamond jewellery.
