Silver Jubilee 1977 T-Shirts

Casual cotton shirts worn by schoolboys celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. The shirts bear printed commemorative motifs in royal blue and silver, including the queen’s profile and the years '1952-1977.' Their bright, festive appearance contrasts with Tegan’s disheveled state as she interrupts the boys’ celebration, the fabric stiff with starch and the edges slightly frayed from repeated wear.
