EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover of The Sketch magazine, dated 1923, showcases a captivating portrait of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the future Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, in the moments leading up to her wedding to Prince Albert, Duke of York. The photograph, taken in profile, captures the young bride deep in thought as she contemplates a delicate china figurine. The image was published just weeks before the royal wedding, which took place on 26 April, 1923 at the hallowed Westminster Abbey. Lady Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mum, married the Duke of York in a grand ceremony attended by thousands, becoming the Duchess of York. This union was significant, as it marked the beginning of a remarkable royal dynasty. The couple went on to have two daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, respectively. This exquisite portrait, with its intimate and introspective quality, offers a rare glimpse into the private moments of a future monarch on the eve of her wedding. The china figurine, a symbol of the domesticity and elegance of the time, adds to the overall charm and allure of the image. The cover of The Sketch, with its stunning photograph and intriguing caption, offers a fascinating glimpse into royal history and the life of a remarkable woman who would go on to become one of the most beloved figures in British monarchy.
