Magnificent pairing of oversized official photogravure portraits, both taken by Antony Armstrong-Jones and printed by Raphael Tuck & Sons of England: a marvelous vintage matte-finish 22.25 x 29.75 photogravure portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at full length, clad in the Crown Jewels, nicely signed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Elizabeth R, 1959"; and a superb vintage matte-finish 22.25 x 29.75 photogravure portrait of Prince Philip standing in his decorated uniform, nicely signed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Philip, 1959." In very good to fine condition, with horizontal rippling to both, and some staining to the borders of the Prince Philip photo. A particularly stunning pair of oversized royal presentation portraits, as the photographer—Antony Armstrong-Jones—would become Queen Elizabeth's brother-in-law one year later when he married Princess Margaret.
