EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - Queen Anne (1665-1714) and Mrs Danvers in the presence chamber. Queen Anne, who reigned from 1702 to 1714, was not only the second daughter of James II but also the sister of Mary II. Her reign witnessed a pivotal event with the passing of the Act of Union between England and Scotland, making her the last monarch to hold separate titles as Queen of England and Queen of Scotland. In this engraving, we see Queen Anne alongside Mrs Danvers, both exuding regal elegance within the grandeur of the presence chamber. The room itself is adorned with intricate details that reflect its importance as a political space where decisions were made for the country's governance. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this image from Cassells Illustrated History of England. It transports us back to eighteenth-century Britain when politics intertwined with royalty in shaping national identity. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded not only of Queen Anne's sovereignty but also her role as a symbol representing Great Britain and Ireland during her reign. This historical artifact serves as a testament to her legacy and reminds us how power dynamics played out within these walls centuries ago.
