Queen Anne, c1702 (1906)
Queen Anne, c1702 (1906). From the original painting by John Closterman, in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Anne (1665-1714) was the daughter of James II, deposed by William of Orange in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The last Stuart monarch, she came to the throne after the death of William in 1702, and became the first monarch of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the signing of the Act of Union in 1707. Her reign saw a decline of the power of the crown in favour of that of ministers as well as the development of a two party system of politics. Her inability to produce an heir precipitated a succession crisis, with parliament passing legislation to hand the crown to the House of Hanover in order to prevent the Catholic Old Pretender, James Francis Edward Stuart, from claiming the throne. A print from Queen Anne, by Herbert Paul, Goupil and Co, London, 1906. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully colorized print captures the regal presence of Queen Anne, a significant figure in British history. Painted by John Closterman and displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, this portrait showcases Queen Anne's elegance and authority. Born in 1665 as the daughter of James II, her reign marked a pivotal period for England. Following William of Orange's deposition of her father during the Glorious Revolution, she ascended to the throne after William's death in 1702. As the last Stuart monarch, she became the first ruler of Great Britain and Ireland after their union was formalized through the Act of Union in 1707. Queen Anne faced numerous challenges during her reign. The power dynamics shifted towards ministers while political parties began to emerge. Her inability to produce an heir led to a succession crisis that resulted in parliament passing legislation favoring the House of Hanover over Catholic claimants. Despite these difficulties, Queen Anne left an indelible mark on British history. This lithograph print from 1906 by Herbert Paul brings her image back to life with vibrant colors that highlight her royal attire adorned with regalia such as orbs and sceptres. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded not only of Queen Anne's significance but also appreciate how art can breathe new life into historical figures centuries later.
