Photographer'

On the reverse there is a nice clear back stamp with the words

The Duchess of York of course then went on to be known as The Queen Mother when Princess Elizabeth was Crowned Queen.

A lovely addition to any Royal Family collection.

In very good - excellent condition.

There are a few tiny and faint cutlery scratches to the front and a light bit of wear to the gilt rim.

On the whole this looks to have been kept as a precious memento to commemorate the event.
