Description
- An enormous 14 x 11 inch photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on a signed cardboard mount (19.25 x 14 inches)
- Autographed in huge, grand style by the royal couple in black fountain pen and dated 1979
Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch of Great Britain, crowned in 1953. She has been on the throne longer than any other ruler in British history and celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee in 2017. The Queen remains a near universally popular figure, both in the UK and abroad.
This is an exceptionally large and rare portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Below are the enormous signatures of Elizabeth and Philip. The “R” following “Elizabeth” is shorthand for “Regina” – Latin for queen. This is the formal signature used by British rulers.
The setting is the Grand Corridor at Windsor Castle, the preferred home of the royal family. The Queen is smiling broadly, which further enhances the rarity of this piece.
This photograph was taken in 1979, two years after Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, and represents a charming tribute to Britain’s longest serving monarch. It's accompanied with a letter of provenance from the previous owner and a Fraser's Autographs certificate of authenticity.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip signatures of this vast size and quality are rarely seen at auction. When accompanied by a photograph of this magnitude and visual appeal, it is of the utmost scarcity.
