EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Queen Anne (1665-1714) of Great Britain, dressed in the elegant attire of her reign from 1702 to 1714. The monarch is shown wearing a tall hat adorned with intricate ribbons and lace, a fashionable accessory of the time. The dress itself is trimmed with delicate lace, adding an air of refinement and sophistication to the ensemble. Queen Anne's white gloves and lace fan complete the look, providing a touch of elegance and class. The print, titled "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," was published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. It is a handcoloured lithograph, a popular method of reproducing images during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the intricate patterns on the Queen's hat to the delicate folds of her dress, is a testament to the skill of the lithographers and colourists of the time. Queen Anne's reign was marked by political instability and the War of the Spanish Succession. Despite these challenges, the Queen continued to uphold the traditions and elegance of the British court. This print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the era, providing a fascinating insight into the fashion and style of the time. The print was likely produced for collectors and historians, as well as for those interested in the history and culture of the period. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or costumes, and a testament to the enduring allure of the past.
