EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic broadside published on the somber occasion of Queen Anne's death, which occurred on Sunday, 1st August 1714. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 18th century, this woodcut print is now part of a private collection. The broadside itself was a significant piece of news during its time, as it was sold for just one penny. It served as both a newspaper article and an obituary, informing the British public about the passing of their beloved monarch. The image depicts Queen Anne in regal attire, her portrait capturing her authority and grace. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when royal deaths were mourned with great solemnity. This print not only serves as a reminder of Queen Anne's reign but also sheds light on the importance placed upon monarchy in Britain at that time. Preserved through generations and now made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this artwork allows us to reflect upon our past and appreciate how historical events were communicated to the masses. It stands as a testament to both artistry and journalism intertwining seamlessly to commemorate an influential ruler who left an indelible mark on British history - Queen Anne.
