(QUEEN ELIZABETH II.) A Vintage Presentation Portrait Photograph. Signed by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
A black and white full length portrait photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the Royal couple wearing Orders and decorations, taken at Buckingham Palace in 1960 by Anthony Buckley, Signed in ink on mount “Elizabeth R 1963” and “Philip”, 29cm x 21.5cm, unframed, a little toning; near fine.
The original owner was presented with the signed photograph in his capacity as an Engineer for the British Airways Overseas Corporation on the March 1963 Royal Flight. The Photograph is accompanied with the Royal Flight menu for Perth-Sydney-Fiji-Honolulu-Vancouver-London, March 1963.
“Anthony Buckley (1912-1993) opened his first portrait studio in 1937 and he quickly gained a reputation for his portraits of leading actresses of the day. After serving in World War II, he worked from a studio on St Alban's Street and then in the 1950s on New Bond Street, when he purchased the premises and business of Janet Jevons. In the early 1950s he worked in Dorothy Wilding’s London studio. His reputation as a leading stage portraitist grew rapidly. In the 1960s he moved to Grosvenor Street, an address that better reflected his enhanced status as a royal photographer. His prints spanning the years 1937-75 were donated to the National Portrait Gallery in 1995.” (National Portrait Gallery.)
A lovely British Royal Family collector’s piece.
