HRH Princess Alexandra Pictorial Story First Eighteen Years Vintage Royal Book

This is an original vintage pictorial book titled H.R.H. Princess Alexandra – The Pictorial Story of Her First Eighteen Years, written by Anne Courtenay and published in the United Kingdom during the mid-1950s. The book documents the early life of Princess Alexandra of Kent through contemporary photography and descriptive text, covering her childhood, family life, and early public appearances.

The publication is presented in a softcover format and contains numerous black-and-white photographic plates, including formal portraits and candid images from different stages of her early life. It was produced as a commemorative royal pictorial for the general public rather than as an academic reference work and reflects the visual and editorial style of post-war British royal publications.

Used. This book shows clear age-related wear consistent with a mid-20th-century softcover pictorial, including edge wear, corner rubbing, surface marks, and light creasing to the covers, with noticeable wear along the spine and edges. Internally, pages are complete with light toning, spotting, and occasional marks, but all photographs and text remain legible throughout. Please refer closely to the photos, which form part of the condition report, and note that colours may appear slightly different in person due to lighting conditions, camera settings, or individual screen displays.

No additional items are included beyond the book shown. Buyers are advised to review all images carefully before purchase.
