  Illustrating Queen Elizabeth II's varied activities and interests, both public and private, and the outstanding events and personalities of the period, this is a celebration of the 40 years of her reign. It is the official guide to an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, starting in April 1992. The pamphlet recreates such occasions as the Coronation and State banquets - English pageantry at its most spectacular - and also offers an insight into the personal side of the Queen's life. It shows not only the treasures of the Royal Art Collection, but also her private acquisitions, her wardrobe, her love of the turf and her home life at Balmoral, Sandringham and Windsor.
