GLAMOUR QUEEN
Elizabeth poses in a glamorous evening gown and diamonds in the year she became monarch in a portrait by Dorothy Wilding, who had photographed the royal family since the late 1920s. Wilding eventually became the official photographer of the royal couple at Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, and her photos were used to make Britain's official postage stamps.
