The image showcases Queen Maeve, a legendary figure from Irish mythology, as she proudly wields her iconic sword. Dressed in regal attire, adorned with intricate jewelry, and exuding an air of authority and power, Queen Maeve commands attention and respect. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, is part of The Florence Mary Anderson Collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library. The collection is a treasure trove of historical and cultural images, and this particular print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of Irish mythology. Queen Maeve is a complex and intriguing character, known for her strength, beauty, and legendary feats. According to legend, she was the queen of Connacht, one of the five provinces of Ireland. She was renowned for her beauty, which attracted many suitors, including the legendary hero Cuchulainn.

This photograph print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document. It provides us with a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the rich cultural heritage of Ireland and the fascinating world of Celtic mythology.
