The longest verified reign of any female monarch in history at 70 years and 214 days, Queen Elizabeth II ascended the British throne in 1952 upon the death of her father George VI. Passing in September of 2022, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip were married a total of 73 years, until the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing in 2021. Offered is a cabinet photo of the two during their 1973 Royal Visit to Canada that has been signed by both noteworthy personages. Coming with great provenance, our consignor’s father was an RCMP officer and part of the escort team for the 1964 Royal Tour, assuming similar duties in 1973. A number of newspaper pictures and photos show him in function near the Queen and digital images of these will be forwarded to the winner of the lot. At approx 8" x 9" for the photo and 12" x 14" including the mount, the image shows exceptional clarity, with each signing beneath the photo in beautiful dark ink, with the signatures flawless, remaining completely dark. There is some minor wear to the mount, with a couple tiny blemishes to the photo.
