EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a historic moment in the post-war era of the United Kingdom, as the future Queen Elizabeth II extends her hand in a warm greeting to Captain W.G. Agnew, commander of the Royal Navy battleship H.M.S. Vanguard. The image was taken on 12 May 1946, during the commissioning ceremony of the battleship at Greenock in Scotland. The young Princess Elizabeth, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, stands confidently alongside Captain Agnew, both clad in their respective formal attire. The naval officer wears a crisp white uniform adorned with numerous medals, while the Princess dons a classic, modest dress with a floral pattern. The H.M.S. Vanguard, a formidable symbol of British naval power, is anchored in the background, its towering silhouette a testament to the country's commitment to maintaining its military strength. The event marked a significant milestone in the Princess's life as she continued her journey towards assuming the throne. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, was published in the book "Princess Elizabeth: The Illustrated Story of Twenty-one Years in the Life of the Heir Presumptive" by Dermot Morrah in 1947. The image captures the essence of the era, with its focus on formal attire, naval warfare, and the transition from wartime to peacetime.
