Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A like-new, bright, clean, tight copy sans flaws. in a Mylar Protective Cover. "This book is inspired by the discovery of letters written by the captain of H.M.S. Dwarf, a Victorian gunboat sent to the Falklands at the request of the Governor to enforce a conservation regime on brutal and unprincipaled sealers.

Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 304pp, lavishly illustrated. For the nearly seven decades of her reign, Her Majesty The late Queen had used clothing to create a powerful visual identity that transcends fashion and had made her perhaps the most readily identifiable person on the planet. Angela Kelly, building on the work of the great designers and milliners who have worked with Her Majesty through the years, including couturiers Sir Norman Hartnell, Sir Hardy Amies, and Ian Thomas, and milliners such as Simone Mirman and Freddy Fox, brought her own imagination to bear on an iconic uniform that suggested continuity and tradition, and ensures that the wearer was always the most visible person in a room or a crowd. Mary Angela Kelly, CVO (b.1957), daughter of a dock worker and a nurse, is a British fashion designer, dressmaker, and milliner, who served as friend, Personal Assistant and Senior Dresser to Queen Elizabeth II from 1993 until the monarch's death in 2022. Her official title was Personal Assistant, Adviser and Curator to Her Majesty The Queen (Jewellery, Insignias and Wardrobe). When her employer died in 2022, she was forced to leave her grace and favour Windsor home to start a new life in the Peak District. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by Clare Ward, photos after the author and Annie Leibowitz (illustrator). …
