EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1927, the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, are seen admiring a wax effigy of their young daughter, Princess Elizabeth. The image was captured during an auction held at a Society ball, where the intricately detailed doll was the highlight of the event. The Duke and Duchess of York, who were the parents of the future Queen Elizabeth II, are dressed elegantly for the occasion, adding to the regal atmosphere of the scene. The Duke, with his stern expression and military decorations, exudes an air of authority, while the Duchess, in her flowing gown and pearls, radiates grace and sophistication. The wax effigy of Princess Elizabeth, skillfully crafted by an unknown artist, is a remarkable replica of the young princess. Her tiny features, including her curly hair and dimples, are remarkably lifelike, making it easy to imagine the real Princess Elizabeth in her place. The doll is dressed in a beautiful white gown and a crown adorned with pearls, further emphasizing her royal status. Mr. Leslie Henson, a well-known British actor and comedian, is also present in the photograph, adding a touch of entertainment to the formal occasion. Henson was a popular figure in British society at the time and was known for his appearances in various films and stage productions. The wax effigy of Princess Elizabeth was undoubtedly a prized possession for the lucky bidder who took it home that night. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the royal family and the society of the time. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where royalty and entertainment intertwined in a world of elegance and intrigue.
