EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning front cover of The Illustrated London News Royal Wedding Number, dated November 1947, commemorates the historic marriage of Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten (formerly Prince Philip of Greece). Designed by renowned British artist Terence Cuneo (1907-1996), this exquisite painting captures the essence of the joyous occasion as the young couple exchanges vows at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. The bride, resplendent in an intricately beaded and embroidered gown, gazes lovingly at her husband-to-be, who wears the uniform of the Royal Navy. Surrounded by the grandeur of the Abbey and the presence of the British monarchy, the image encapsulates the hope and optimism of a post-war Britain. The original painting of this iconic cover now hangs proudly in the Illustrated London News archive, a testament to the enduring legacy of this royal wedding.
