Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Country Life Magazine Portrait June 12, 1997. CXCI No. 24

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother first appeared on this page as Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in January 1923. She has been featured many times since and is believed to be the oldest living 'girl in pearls'. We are proud that, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the frontispiece, Queen Elizabeth agreed to sit for this specially commissioned photograph, taken at Royal Lodge by Lord Snowdon..

This is an authentic original page from Country Life magazine, part of the iconic series often affectionately referred to as the “Girls in Pearls” portraits — elegant society images that captured a distinctive era of British publishing and portraiture.

Size: Approximately 12.5 x 9 inches (32 x 23 cm)

Condition: Very good for its age. As with all vintage magazine pages, light signs of handling or minor age-related blemishes may be present. Please review the large photo carefully for full condition details. The reverse side contains unrelated printed text, as issued.
