EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are seen engaging with the Disabled Soldiers Work Exibition and Sale of Work of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Industry, held at 35 Lowndes Square in London, 1933. The young princesses, accompanied by their grandmother, Queen Mary, and their mother, the Duchess of York, are shown expressing their support for this worthy cause. Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen admiring a blue petit-point handbag, intricately embroidered with her initial. This exquisite gift was presented to her during her visit to the exhibition. The Princess is dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, her expression reflecting her interest and delight in the handicrafts on display. Meanwhile, Princess Margaret, the younger sister, sits comfortably on a chair, also a thoughtful present from the organization. Her posture and attire mirror her elder sister's, indicating a shared sense of appreciation for the artisans' work. The sisters' presence at the event not only brought joy to the disabled soldiers but also raised awareness for their cause and the importance of their craft. The Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Industry was an essential part of the social fabric during the interwar period, providing employment opportunities for disabled soldiers and veterans. The exhibition showcased their embroidery work, which ranged from small handbags to larger pieces, all meticulously crafted with great care and skill. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, as the future monarch and her sister connect with the community and offer their support to those in need. The image is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, as well as the power of art and craft to bring people together.
