The Queen Mother's Century

Little, Brown, 1999. Art Director Michael Rand.

orn on August 4, 1900, the Queen Mother came in with the twentieth century, and her inspiring story covers ten dramatic decades of spectacle and change. To look at her life is to look at history.

The Queen Mother's Century is a lavish pictorial tribute to Britain's most beloved royal figure, weaving the march of great events with a unique and revealing selection of pictures that tell the story of her life. 100 classic newspaper and magazine front pages tell the tale of the century, from Edwardian England to cyberspace. Teaming up again with Michael Rand, art director of Princess, Robert chronicles the life-story of the Queen Mother in over 120 personal photographs, many of them from private archives and albums.
