EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a humorous take on Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the time of his wedding to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1947. The image, caricatured by the skilled hand of R.S. Sherriff for The Sketch's Royal Wedding Number in November 1947, showcases Prince Philip in his naval uniform as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. The playful caricature highlights his youthful charm and confidence, adding an endearing touch to the historic occasion. Prince Philip, born in 1921, was the consort of Queen Elizabeth II, making their union the first time a British monarch had married a foreigner. Their wedding took place on November 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey in London, following World War II. The event was a grand spectacle, bringing joy and hope to the British people after years of hardship. This print is a testament to the lighter side of royal history, offering a unique perspective on the beloved Duke of Edinburgh during this significant moment in time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the caricature to life, making it an exquisite addition to any collection of royal portraits, cartoons, or caricatures. The Sketch, a renowned British publication, was known for its high-quality prints and coverage of royal events. This particular Royal Wedding Number, featuring the charming caricature of Prince Philip by R.S. Sherriff, is a cherished piece of history that continues to delight and inspire.
