Royal Christmas and New Year card from 1977, with an embossed crest of "The Queen's Silver Jubilee" on the front, measures 17 x 6 open, with the inside bearing a color photo of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip alighting from the royal carriage prior to the ceremony, signed and inscribed to the Queen Mother on the adjacent page in blue fountain pen, “Darling Mummy, With our love & [preprinted text] Lilibet, 1977." The Prince Philip signature is autopen. In fine condition, with some light soiling. An especially interesting signature from the queen, as she only ever signs with her nickname, "Lilibet," for very close friends and family; the recipient being her mother in this special instance. She was given the nickname as a young child, and it is essentially only her immediate family members who are permitted to use it.
