Royal Flush

This posting is a bit out of our normal realm, but we just finished season one of  "The Crown" and it inspired this holiday offering of Royal ephemera.  The royal flush includes a large (65" h., 75" w.) British Empire map which was "constructed and engraved by W. and A.K. Johnston of Edinburgh and London" in 1930.  Next is a 1950's lithotone print of the Royal Family by one of the masters of 20th c. photography, Yousuf Karsh.  Then, a rare retail display card of  King Edward VIII which was printed in England for E.Griffiths Hughes Ltd.  We are also including a print of George V as well as a Toronto Star commemorative pull out print of Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her coronation in 1955.  A perfect holiday gift for the Anglophile on your list.  SOLD
