1976
A stunning,official full-length portrait of Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness, the late Prince Philip, taken at Windsor Castle.
Anthony Buckley (1912-1993), opened his first portrait studio in 1937 and he quickly gained a reputation for his portraits of leading actresses of the day. After serving in World War II, he resumed his career and in the early 1950s worked in Dorothy Wilding's London studio. His reputation as a leading stage portraitist grew rapidly. In the 1960s he moved to Grosvenor Street, an address that better reflected his enhanced status as a royal photographer. His prints spanning the years 1937-75 were donated to the National Portrait Gallery in 1995.
