HRH Elizabeth The Queen Mother Signed 1963 Christmas Card with hand written Envelope. Stunning image of the much loved Royal sitting with here two Corgi dogs in a living room. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (4 August 1900 - 30 March 2002) was the wife of King George VI and the mother of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. She was Queen consort of the United Kingdom and the Dominions from her husbands accession in 1936 until his death in 1952, after which she was known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, to avoid confusion with her daughter. She was the last Empress consort of India. Born into a family of British nobility, she came to prominence in 1923 when she married Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V and Queen Mary. The couple and their daughters embodied traditional ideas of family and public service. She undertook a variety of public engagements and became known as the Smiling Duchess because of her consistent public expression. In 1936, her husband unexpectedly became king when his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated in order to marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth became queen. She accompanied her husband on diplomatic tours to France and North America before the start of World War II. During the war, her seemingly indomitable spirit provided moral support to the British public. In recognition of her role as an asset to British interests, Adolf Hitler described her as the most dangerous woman in Europe. After the war, her husbands health deteriorated and she was widowed at the age of 51. Her elder daughter, aged 25, became the new queen. On the death of Queen Mary in 1953, Elizabeth became the most senior member of the British royal family after the sovereign, and was viewed as the family matriarch. In her later years, she was a consistently popular member of the family, even when other members were suffering from low levels of public approval. She continued an active public life until just a few months before her death at the age of 101, seven weeks after the death of her younger daughter, Princess Margaret.

O'CASEY SEAN: (1880-1964) Irish Dramatist. T.L.S., Sean O'Casey, two pages, 4to, Torquay, Devon, 12th February 1958, to Lewis Funke, Drama Editor at The New York Times. O'Casey announces 'I haven't been able to devote a second to searching out an article that might or mightn't suit you, for two reasons - an ailing eye and the necessity to withdraw my play from the Tostal Council', further adding 'I daresay, you have heard of the blast that came from the Palace of Dublin's R. Catholic Archbishop which thundered out that No Votive Mass would be said if any play by Joyce or O'Casey was performed during the Tostal Festival. Bang!' O'Casey continues to explain 'The Tostal Chairman chose a Director about whom I had some doubts… he was frightened of the play. He couldn't make himself comfortable with the blend of realism and fantasy, though there's less of it than in the BISHOP'S BONFIRE… I got a letter from the Globe Theatre… the Globe told me that they considered the play 'unproducable'; that they wouldn't commit themselves to a production till I signed an authorisation giving their producer (Director) the power to change the play “according to his requirement”. I answered this by a brief note…Then came a letter from the Chairman saying “…I am instructed to ask you to, if you would, change your attitude towards the question of negotiating such alterations.” Negotiations! You'd think it was a summit meeting. So I have withdrawn the play… I have a hunch that the Archbishop's blast shook them a little' O'Casey also writes regarding the problems with the publication of his book, The Green Crow, and a letter sent by the publisher to the Irish Embassy regarding censorship, before finally musing, 'There you are Louis - Tostal Council, Globe Directors, Censorship Board, Archbishop, and Customs Officer, not counting Legion of Mary, C.Y.M.S. Monsignors, and Canons, all in a battle array against a bird, sniping at the Green Crow as it flies past, or perches for a minute on an Irish tree. I am just letting you know the news; not in any spirit of complaining, for I am used to it all by now; and it doesn't take a feather outa me.' A letter of interesting content. Accompanied by the original envelope signed ('O'Casey') by him in the return address to the verso. One minor paperclip rust stain to the upper edge, only slightly affecting a few words of text, otherwise VG Lewis B. Funke (1912-1992) American Drama Editor and Critic for The New York Times. An Tóstal (meaning 'The Pageant') the name for a series of festivals held in Ireland. Inaugurated in 1953 as a celebration of Irish life, it continued on until 1958 after which it mostly died out.The Bishop's Bonfire: A Sad Play within the Tune of a Polka by Sean O'Casey, published by MacMillan & Co.
