Framed Commemorative Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II

This item is a framed commemorative photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, appearing to date from the mid-20th century, likely around the time of her coronation or early reign (circa 1950s-1960s). The portrait captures the Queen in a classic profile view, adorned with a significant tiara—identifiable as the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara—and wearing a formal sash, possibly the Order of the Garter. The image itself appears to be a colorized lithograph or a vintage color photograph. The physical condition shows significant signs of age and environmental exposure; the color has shifted toward a heavy reddish-magenta hue, typical of faded vintage photographic dyes. There is visible water damage or foxing, most notably a large vertical streak or tear-like mark running down the Queen's face and shoulder area. The frame is a dark, simple wooden construction, potentially mahogany or stained pine, showing standard wear and dust accumulation. The overall quality suggests a mass-produced royal souvenir or an official portrait intended for display in a public office or Commonwealth household. The saturation of the red tones and the deterioration of the paper backing indicate long-term exposure to sunlight and humidity.
