Duty: A Love Letter to Queen Elizabeth II

Duty showcases the work of LGBTQI+ artist, Owen Grant Innes, who as a child struggled to understand how and where he fit in. Somehow the Queen gave him a place to belong and connected him to a world beyond his own. This beautiful art book captures iconic moments of the Queen's life and is a tribute to and celebration of her 70-year reign. The artist and author, Owen Grant Innes, began life in Nova Scotia, ''the most British of the Canadian provinces.'' As a young boy in the 1960s, Innes felt an enormous sense of not belonging and found that through history, culture, and Queen Elizabeth II, he was connected to a wider world and, in that, found a sense of belonging. This book is a product of the unique relationship between sovereign and subject, acting as a ''love letter'' to the Queen.
Including 24 beautiful artworks dedicated to the Queen''s life, from her birth to coronation, to the recent passing of her husband, Prince Philip. Alongside each painting is a quotation from Her Majesty or a reflection from the author.
This book is a wonderful ode to the monarch and a tribute to the impact of her long reign.
