The photo was taken three years after the death of the Queen's husband, King George VI, and two years after the coronation of her eldest daughter, Elizabeth II.

The Queen Mother was the patron of this society.

Elizaveta was dressed in a coat, a fancy hat with feathers, a brooch pinned to the collar of her coat, and a pearl necklace around her neck.

She was cheerful and received a gift from the hands of a little boy.
