Queen Elizabeth II Signed Swedish Guestbook from 1956 State Visit, with King Gustaf VI Adolf Bernadotte Signature
A guestbook signed by Queen Elizabeth II on a state visit to Sweden in 1956. Measuring 7" x 9.5", [Stockholm, Sweden], dated January 1945 to October 1999. A leatherbound volume, entitled "Gästbok", filled with 28 pages of signatures, inscriptions, and even small sketches from past guests [dating from 1945-1999]. The majority of the text is in Swedish. Elizabeth II has signed one of the later pages as "Elizabeth R." Below her signature is the signature of King Gustaf VI Adolf Bernadotte, and the page has two Elizabeth II stamps and one Gustaf VI Adolf stamp adhered at the corners. These two signatures were obtained when the Queen of England and the King of Sweden visited Stockholm during her state visit in 1956. The visitors book has slight yellowing to the internal pages and light handling wear. Areas of rubbing and staining to the covers and spine. Bold signatures within. Overall very good.
