A propos de cet article

A refined and ceremonially produced portrait volume celebrating the British Royal Family under the House of Windsor, issued in the context of the early reign of King George VI following the constitutional transition of 1936–1937. This work presents a series of finely executed portrait plates depicting key members of the royal household, including King George V, Queen Mary, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, and notably a young H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth—later Queen Elizabeth II—captured here in one of her earliest formal portrait representations. The volume reflects both a moment of dynastic consolidation and a carefully curated public image of monarchy during a period of national transition. The inclusion of the royal coat of arms, formal typography, and high-quality plate production situates the book firmly within the tradition of official or semi-official commemorative publications of the period. Of particular interest is the contextual timing: produced at the dawn of George VI’s reign, it captures the royal family at a pivotal historical moment, bridging the late imperial era and the modern constitutional monarchy that would follow under Elizabeth II. The plates themselves—restrained, dignified, and executed with clarity—emphasise continuity, legitimacy, and public reassurance, making this both a visual and historical document. Bibliography Illustrated with a full suite of portrait plates of members of the British Royal Family Publication Details; London: Methuen & Company Limited, [circa 1937] Condition; Very good condition. Original cream cloth binding with gilt titling and royal arms to upper cover. Light surface marking and handling wear to boards. Internally clean with well-preserved plates, occasional light spotting. Structurally sound. Why This Matters; A well-produced royal portrait volume capturing the House of Windsor at a defining historical moment, including an early image of the future Queen Elizabeth II—appealing to collectors of royal history, portraiture, and British heritage material.
