Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip
1960-2021 A comprehensive year by year collection of the annual Christmas cards sent by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, each signed "Elizabeth R" and "Philip", and dated by the Queen, thought to be signed by autopen from 1960 onwards. The cards have gilt cyphers on the outside and commemorate family and national events throughout the reign of the Queen. Occasions include the Queen's Jubilees, official visits, D-Day commemorations, significant birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and the 1981 marriage of the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer. The image for each year was personally selected by the Queen and Duke, reflecting their highlight of the year, certain rather lighthearted. The last jointly signed card dates to Christmas 2020 and the Queen's final card for Christmas 2021 bears her signature "Elizabeth R". A remarkable opportunity to acquire a collection intact (62)
