EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satirical illustration by John Leech, depicting Queen Anne of Great Britain and Ireland in the 18th century. The image is taken from "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, published in London in 1897. In this whimsical portrayal, Queen Anne is seen being carried in a sedan chair as she prepares to open Parliament. Queen Anne's reign was marked by political challenges and significant events, making her opening of Parliament an important occasion. The use of a sedan chair for transportation reflects the customs and traditions of the time period. John Leech's caricature style adds humor to the scene, emphasizing both the power and vulnerability of Queen Anne as a female monarch. His illustrations were known for their wit and satire, providing social commentary on British society during that era. This print not only captures an intriguing moment in history but also showcases the artistic talent of John Leech. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey political messages while entertaining audiences through clever visual storytelling.
