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

Fine unsigned portrait photo showing the Queen Mother seated on a sofa, wearing a bejewelled gown with orders and tiara, surrounded by her attendants also in evening dress, in original blue leather presentation frame by Jarrolds, 8" x 10" in frame, 10" x 12", Buckingham Palace, no date but circa

She is wearing the same outfit that she wore when she was photographed by Cecil Beaton whose 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.
