Photograph showing full length informal portrait of HRH Princess Elizabeth of York aged approximately one year, seated in a wooden chair and facing three-quarters right. Mounted photograph
The Luton-based photographers Frederick and Hubert Thurston had previously photographed the Duchess of York as a young girl. One portrait from 1902 shows the young Elizabeth Bowes Lyon seated in a high chair, in a pose very similar to that chosen for this photograph. As in other portraits at this time, the Princess is shown wearing her first gift of jewellery - a coral necklace.
