Description from the seller
Rare Christmas card personally signed by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900–2002), dated 1957.
Large-format Royal Christmas card featuring a colour photograph of The Castle of Mey, the Queen Mother’s beloved Scottish residence in Caithness.
Inside, the card bears the Christmas greeting:
“With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year”

The card is decorated with the Royal Crown and dates from 1957, only a few years after the Queen Mother acquired and restored the Castle of Mey.
A particularly attractive piece of British Royal memorabilia, combining an original royal autograph with an image closely associated with the Queen Mother’s private life.

Signature: “Elizabeth R”, handwritten in ink
Image: The Castle of Mey, Scotland
