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

Magnificent Presentation photo by Cecil Beaton signed and dated showing her three quarters length in profile, seated on a sofa wearing a bejewelled dress and sash, 8" x 6", in original blue morocco presentation frame by H. H. Plante, with gilt monogram at the head, 12½" x 9", no place, no date, circa

Provenance. By descent from the son of the person it was given to who worked at Windsor.
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.
