Queen Mary of Teck – A magnificent oversized, wartime formal portrait, signed and dated “Mary R 1942” by the Queen. Mary was the queen consort of King George V and grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. Following the King’s death in 1936, she continued to sign official photographs “Mary R” (Regina), pointedly declining the titles Queen Dowager or Queen Mother.
This regal three‑quarter‑length portrait shows Queen Mary wearing a tiara and sash. The photograph measures 7 x 11.5 inches and is mounted on the photographer’s original mat, visible in the frame at 9 x 14 inches. The portrait was taken by Vandyk Studios of London, one of the premier royal and society portrait studios of the first half of the 20th century and responsible for many of the finest images of the British Royal Family.
The piece is attractively presented in a window‑cut cloth mat and a faux antique gold frame measuring 15 x 20 inches. An impressive display item—ideal for any autograph or royal memorabilia collection.
