Jubilee

Queen Elizabeth II, Dorothy Wilding, 1952. 

     When Elizabeth acceded to the British throne in 1952 there was talk of a “new Elizabethan age,” associating the new Queen with the past glory of Elizabeth I, and hoping for a national revival for a country still recovering from the trauma of World War II.[1] The images of the Queen in the early years of her reign focused on her youth and beauty. The Queen posed for photographer Dorothy Wilding 59 times to mark her accession.[2] In the images she is dressed in evening gowns and jewels. Wilding’s photographs were sent to embassies and were made into the images on banknotes and stamps.  Still young at 26 years old, the Queen was made into a symbol of hope and renewal. Her coronation on June 2^nd 1953 was a huge event, which aimed for public visibility. For the first time ever the coronation ceremony was broadcast globally by the BBC with an estimated 27 million viewers.[3] The broadcasting of the ceremony brought the public into the event, connecting them with a historic moment and instilling a sense of national pride.
