HRH in Canada (HMM!)

It's not hard to find a macro-sized image of a queen when your husband is an Anglophile. This commemorative tea mug dates from Elizabeth II's grand Canadian tour in 1959, and since this was before mugs became supersized, the printed picture of the royal pair is just 3" in diameter. My husband, a Detroiter, ordered the cup from a gift shop in Windsor, Ontario. "Made in England" is stamped on the bottom. For more about the royal tour, see crht.ca/the-1959-canadian-tour-of-the-queen/
