EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a pivotal moment in the union of England and Scotland: The Act of Union presented to Queen Anne in 1707. The image shows the Duke of Queensberry and Dover, John Middleton (1654-1737), proudly presenting the document to Queen Anne (1665-1714), as she sits regally on her throne. The Act of Union, signed on May 5, 1707, officially united the two countries under one parliament in London, marking the end of separate Parliaments in Edinburgh and Westminster. The Act of Union was a significant event in British history, as it brought an end to centuries of conflict and tension between England and Scotland. The union was driven by a number of factors, including economic and political considerations, as well as the desire for greater stability and unity in the British Isles. The print, which is held in the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of this important historical moment. The Duke of Queensberry, who served as Lord Privy Seal and Lord President of the Council under Queen Anne, played a key role in the passage of the Act of Union through Parliament. He is depicted here in grand attire, holding the document aloft, while Queen Anne, dressed in her royal robes, receives it with a look of approval. The print also provides a glimpse into the opulence of the royal court, with its ornate furnishings, grandiose decor, and elaborate costumes. Overall, this print is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the political and social landscape of early 18th century Britain, as well as the significance of the Act of Union in shaping the modern United Kingdom.
