EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the young William, Duke of Gloucester, in 1699. The image serves as a reminder of the fragility of life during the 17th century, as William tragically passed away at the tender age of 11. Queen Anne (1665-1714), his mother, endured immense heartache throughout her reign as she gave birth to seventeen children between 1684 and 1700; however, none survived into adulthood. This somber print from "Queen Anne" by Herbert Paul transports us back to that era through its monochrome depiction. The portrait showcases William's long-haired hairstyle and highlights his royal lineage with an air of regality befitting a prince. Created by Sir Godfrey Kneller, renowned for his skillful portrayal of British nobility, this lithograph beautifully captures both the innocence and potential cut short within this young boy. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of William's untimely demise but also of the profound impact infant mortality had on families during that period. It is a testament to Queen Anne's strength amidst such tragedy. This print from "The Print Collector" collection allows us to delve into England's past while contemplating themes such as loss and resilience. It serves as a powerful reminder that even within royalty lies vulnerability and sorrow – an enduring reflection on human existence itself.
