EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Queen Mother as a young girl, exuding innocence and charm. Taken around 1905 but published in The Connoisseur in August 1910, this artwork by Mabel Emily Hankey beautifully captures Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's youthful spirit before she became the mother of Queen Elizabeth II. In this portrait, the young future queen is depicted holding a newspaper, perhaps indicating her early interest in current events and her role as a member of the royal family. Surrounding her are delicate flowers and plants, symbolizing nature's beauty and hinting at the regal life that awaited her. Mabel Emily Hankey's artistic talent shines through in every detail of this monochrome illustration. Her skillful use of light and shadow creates depth while emphasizing the subject's elegance. The artist perfectly captures Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's pretty features, showcasing her as an embodiment of Edwardian femininity. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we catch a glimpse into the past—a time when innocence was cherished amidst changing times. This print serves as a reminder of both historical significance and personal connection to one of Britain's most beloved queens—the Queen Mother herself—whose grace would leave an indelible mark on generations to come.
