The Crown in Vogue by Robin Muir (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Crown in Vogue by Robin Muir, Josephine Ross Vogues "special royal salute" to Queen Elizabeth II and the House of Windsor. "Vogue, like the royal family, has been through many evolutions of its own, and to view Her Majestys life through the record of our pages is truly a document of history." --Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue and European Director of Vogue The Crown in Vogue is an extensively illustrated tribute to the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II and to the British Royal Family from the pages of British Vogue. Four monarchs (crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages... British Vogue has borne witness to a century of royal history. The Crown in Vogue is the magazines "special royal salute" to our longest-serving monarch and her "assured and unwavering" presence in the lives of a nation. Vogues first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left Vogue to marry the Queens sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The Queens cousin, Vogues Lord Lichfield, proved an insightful photographer of royal style along with many of Vogues fashion photographers, including Horst, Norman Parkinson, and David Bailey. With visual treasures from Vogues unrivaled archive and contributions through the decades from the most perceptive of royal commentators--from Evelyn Waugh to Zadie Smith--The Crown in Vogue is the definitive, authoritative portrait of Queen Elizabeth IIs magnificent reign--and of royalty in the modern age.
