EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs Maria Anne Fitzherbert, a remarkable woman who defied societal norms and embarked on an unconventional love story. Born Maria Anne Smythe in 1756, she would go on to marry the Prince of Wales (later known as George IV) in 1785. However, their union faced numerous obstacles due to religious differences. Mrs Fitzherbert's Roman Catholic faith clashed with the Royal Marriage Act of 1772, which deemed their marriage illegal since King George III's consent had not been obtained. Despite this legal hurdle, she fearlessly lived with the prince until 1803, challenging the conventions of her time. The engraving beautifully captures Mrs Fitzherbert's elegance and strength as she navigated through a complex web of religion and politics. Her unwavering commitment to her beliefs and love for the prince shines through every line etched into this timeless piece. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals can defy societal expectations and fight for what they hold dear. Mrs Maria Anne Fitzherbert remains an influential figure in British history, symbolizing courage and resilience against adversity. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where love knew no boundaries but was instead tested by laws that sought to divide them based on religion.
