EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Hannah Snell, also known as Robert Snell or Robert Maddocks, a remarkable woman who defied societal norms and assumptions in the early 18th century. Born in England in 1723, Hannah disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the British Navy during the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1744. She served for several years, seeing action in the Caribbean and Europe, and was eventually discharged in 1750. Upon her return to England, Hannah revealed her true identity to her family and the public. Her story quickly gained notoriety, and she was hailed as a heroine and a curiosity. In this print, Hannah is depicted in her military uniform, complete with a tricorn hat, a red coat, and a cross belt. She is shown in the act of passing herself off as a man, with a hand to her chin in deep thought. The inscription below the image reads "Hannah Snell, alias Robert Maddocks, Soldier," highlighting her dual identity. Despite facing skepticism and criticism from some, Hannah's bravery and determination were celebrated by many. She went on to tour England and Scotland, giving public lectures about her experiences and raising funds for herself and her family. This print serves as a testament to Hannah's indomitable spirit and her defiance of gender roles in a time when women were expected to conform to traditional domestic duties. Hannah Snell's story continues to inspire and challenge perceptions of gender and identity, and this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The intricate details of her uniform and the subtle expressions on her face bring her story to life, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection.
