Strikingly beautiful vintage matte-finish 7 x 6.25 seated portrait of the 22-year-old Elizabeth by Dorothy Wilding, affixed to the original 8.75 x 10.25 mount, signed on the mount in black ink, “Elizabeth, 1948.” Reverse bears an affixed Wilding studio label. In fine condition. Elizabeth first sat for the Wilding Studio in a dual photo session with her sister Margaret on May 27, 1946. Nearly six years later, Wilding would take another portrait of Elizabeth, only this time as queen, a photograph which has become one of the defining images of the early years of her reign. Elizabeth signed this photograph in the year she gave birth to her first child, Prince Charles. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
