EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Hannah Snell, known as "the Female Soldier" in an engraving by John Faber from 1750. Hannah Snell's story is one of courage and defiance of societal norms. Disguising herself as a man, she boldly joined the Royal Marines for four years during a time when women were not allowed to serve in the military. The portrait captures her with utmost elegance, wearing a bicorn hat that adds an air of authority to her appearance. Despite donning men's clothing and adopting a masculine disguise, there is still a hint of femininity in her gaze, reminding us of the complexities behind her extraordinary journey. Hannah Snell became infamous for challenging gender expectations and breaking barriers at a time when such actions were unheard of. Her decision to cross-dress and live as a man was met with both astonishment and admiration. This engraving immortalizes her renowned status and serves as a testament to her indomitable spirit. John Faber's masterful craftsmanship brings out every detail, capturing the essence of this iconic figure who dared to defy societal conventions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded that true bravery knows no boundaries or limitations – it transcends gender roles and leaves an indelible mark on history.
