EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover image from The Sphere magazine, dated October 26, 1957, captures a historic moment in the relationship between Canada, the United States, and the British monarchy. The cover features a regal portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who is depicted in her full regalia, wearing the Diamond Diadem and the Order of the Garter sash. The background shows the map of North America with Canada and the United States highlighted. At the time, Queen Elizabeth II was embarking on her first official tour of Canada, which began on September 20, 1957, and lasted for over a month. The tour was significant as it marked the Queen's first visit to the country since her accession to the throne in 1952. The tour was also an opportunity for the Queen to strengthen the bonds between Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as to showcase her role as the symbolic head of the Commonwealth. Following her successful visit to Canada, Queen Elizabeth II then traveled to the United States for a state visit from October 12 to 20, 1957. The visit was the first state visit by a British monarch to the United States and was an opportunity for the Queen to meet with President Dwight D. Eisenhower and other American leaders. The visit was also an opportunity for the Queen to promote Anglo-American relations and to showcase the shared history and cultural ties between the two nations. This cover image from The Sphere magazine provides a visual representation of the historic nature of the Queen's visits to Canada and the United States in 1957, and the enduring relationship between these three nations.
