Fetching vintage matte-finish 8.75 x 11.5 portrait of Elizabeth wearing her glimmering crown jewels by Dorothy Wilding, affixed to its original mount, signed on the mount in fountain pen, “Elizabeth R., 1953.” In fine condition, seemingly removed from the original larger mount, with light stains from adhesive remnants to reverse, and a crease to upper right corner. This portrait was taken at a sitting in the year of Elizabeth’s accession to the throne in 1952, and has become one of the defining images of the early years of her reign. It is a stunning photograph that beautifully captures the Queen’s youth and regal splendor, and is truly impressive in both size and clarity. A splendid representation signed in the year of her coronation. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
