EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Edward Oxford shooting at the Queen, saved by Britannia" depicts a dramatic moment in history. The image showcases the bravery and protection offered by Britannia, personifying Great Britain, as she shields Queen Victoria from an assassination attempt. In this 19th-century artwork, we witness Edward Oxford aiming his firearm towards the carriage carrying the Queen. However, before tragedy can strike, Britannia intervenes to save her monarch. The composition beautifully captures the tension and urgency of the scene. The setting is Green Park in London, where a post chaise and Pullman car are visible in the background. This historical event serves as a reminder of both British resilience and their commitment to safeguarding their leaders. The artist's skillful use of colour brings life to this engraving while emphasizing its significance. It serves as a testament to British culture and values during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary act of heroism amidst political turmoil. This piece not only commemorates an important moment in European history but also symbolizes unity within Great Britain itself.
