Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother

The Illustrated London News, the oldest illustrated magazine of social and historical records, reflects not just on the Queen Mother's remarkable life but on the tumultuous times she lived through. Chapters on the Queen Mother's life are interspersed with photographic records of the century, from the first flight of the Zeppelin to splitting the atom, from the Hillary/Tensing conquest of Everest to the Kennedy assassination and September 11.
