EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Her Royal Highness Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, is depicted as the Duchess of York around the 1920s. Born on August 4, 1900, she was the last Queen consort of Ireland and Empress consort of India. Her life took a dramatic turn when she married King George VI of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions on April 26, 1923. The image captures the Duchess in an exquisite hat and a fur coat, reflecting the refined fashion sense of the era. Her regal bearing and captivating smile exude an aura of grace and poise. At the time of this photograph, she was still the Duchess of York, but her life was about to change dramatically when her husband ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, in 1936. Elizabeth and George's marriage was marked by love and devotion, and she played a significant role in supporting her husband during his reign. After George's death in 1952, she was affectionately known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother to avoid confusion with her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. This photograph is a testament to her regal beauty and the elegance of the royal family during this period. The photograph is from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the British monarchy. It is a poignant reminder of the life and legacy of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the history of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions.
