EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment during the Royal Command Variety Performance at the London Palladium on 4 November 1946. In the image, an elegant Princess Elizabeth, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, extends her hand in a warm greeting to J. Arthur Rank, a prominent British industrialist and film producer. Dressed in a simple yet elegant dress with a fur cape, the future monarch exudes confidence and poise. Rank, wearing a formal suit and overcoat, looks equally pleased as they share a moment of camaraderie. The Royal Command Variety Performance was an annual event held to entertain the British monarchy and the armed forces, and this photograph is a testament to the unity and resilience of the British people in the aftermath of World War II. The print, from Dermot Morrah's book 'Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive,' offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, culture, and history of the 1940s.
