EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite black and white portrait captures the radiant beauty and grace of Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon on her wedding day to Prince Albert, Duke of York, in 1923. The Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, is depicted in her bridal veil, a traditional symbol of purity and modesty, as she steps into the next chapter of her life as a royal bride. The portrait was specially drawn for The Bystander Wedding Number by renowned British artist Alan Stern. The Bystander was a popular weekly magazine known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of social and political events. Stern's intricate and detailed drawing captures the essence of the historic moment, with the Duchess's elegant bridal gown, her delicate veil adorned with pearls, and the grandeur of Westminster Abbey in the background. The wedding of the Duke and Duchess of York took place on April 26, 1923, and marked the beginning of a long and significant relationship between the royal family and the Bowes-Lyon family. The Duchess, who was the youngest daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, brought a fresh and modern energy to the royal family, and her popularity endured throughout her long life. She went on to become the mother of the future King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, and the grandmother of the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. This beautiful portrait is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve historical moments, and serves as a reminder of the significance of the Duchess of York's role in the history of the British monarchy.
