Children of the famous and aristocrats are asked to draw their parents for this issue, and there's a wonderful picture of Douglas Fairbanks drawn by his daughter.
There are many more articles, this is a large issue at 194 pages.
Good condition. The cover has some obvious wear with some creases and a tear on the bottom. Queen and The Queen are fragile magazines, their binding is weak 50 years later and this issue. There are variations of paper in the binding too with some lively high quality paper used in some parts.
Post includes online tracking and insurance. We are happy to combine orders.
