Queen Elizabeth II On Australian Stamp
Following her engagement to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, Princess Elizabeth was photographed by Dorothy Wilding. The portraits served as the basis for a one penny (1d) stamp issued by Australia to coincide with the royal wedding in November 1947.
The Depiction of Queen Elizabeth II
The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on 2 June 1953 over 12 months after her accession. Despite the death of the Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, on 24 March, the year 1953 seemed full of optimism and good omen in Britain. Rationing was finally abolished and on 29 may the successful conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay was hailed as a coronation tribute. Some proclaimed a second Elizabethan age was dawning.
