EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Seal of William and Mary, created in 1897 by John Leech, is a remarkable print that captures the essence of 17th-century British royalty. This image showcases the royal seal of King William III and Queen Mary II, who reigned over Great Britain and Ireland during a pivotal period in history. The print is featured in "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, accompanied by satirical illustrations also crafted by Leech. In this artwork, we see an equestrian depiction of the monarchs surrounded by their courtiers. King William III, known as Prince William of Orange before ascending to the throne, exudes power and authority atop his majestic horse. Queen Mary II stands gracefully beside him, radiating elegance and regality. This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also offers a glimpse into the political climate and social dynamics of its time. Through Leech's caricature style, he subtly infuses humor into his illustrations while shedding light on important events from England's past. As we gaze upon this fascinating piece, we are transported back to an era when kings and queens held immense influence over their countrymen. It reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by these monarchs who shaped British history for generations to come.
