EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Illustrated London News (ILN) dates back to 1923, featuring a young and radiant Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, aged four, with her younger brother David, on the eve of her historic marriage to Prince Albert, Duke of York. The image, published on 2 May 1923, captures the innocent joy and playful bond between the siblings, oblivious of the grand royal wedding that was to unfold in just a few weeks. Lady Elizabeth, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, married Prince Albert at the illustrious Westminster Abbey on 26 April 1923. The union marked the beginning of a remarkable life for the future monarch, who would go on to become the longest-lived and the last surviving monarch of the House of Windsor's first generation. The ILN's cover artistry beautifully encapsulates the essence of a bygone era, providing a glimpse into the lives of the young royals before they assumed their roles as the pillars of the British monarchy. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the close-knit bond between siblings and the innocence of childhood, while also highlighting the significance of the royal wedding that was to take place. This evocative photograph, with its rich historical context, offers an intriguing insight into the lives of the young royals and the era that shaped their future roles as monarchs and family members. The ILN's cover artistry continues to captivate audiences, making it an essential piece of royal history and a cherished collector's item.
