A Photographic Portrait: Queen Elizabeth II, BY PHILIP ZIEGLER, THAMES & HUDSON, $90.
Queen Elizabeth has been photographed since the day she was born and, largely, by the best photographers.
This book pulls together those official portraits we know, with a clutch of revealing, relaxed shots and rarely seen documentary photographs, which offer an insight into the queen’s sometimes troubled, but always scrutinised life. What comes through most is the sense of duty that has powered the monarch’s every move and emotion.
