EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of playing cards that depict significant events early on in the reign of Queen Anne during the War of the Spanish Succession. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 18th century, is part of a private collection. The image captures four distinct scenes from Queen Anne's reign. Firstly, it portrays Her Majesty's first appearance in Parliament on March 11,1702, symbolizing her official role as queen. Secondly, Admiral Munden is shown being tried aboard her Majestys Ship at Spithead, highlighting naval affairs during this period. The third scene depicts the reading of Queen Anne's letter in the Assembly of the States General to assure them of her commitment to maintain their previous alliance. This event emphasizes diplomatic efforts undertaken by Queen Anne during her reign. Lastly, we see members of the Scottish Parliament reading another letter from Queen Anne. This moment signifies Scotland's involvement and loyalty to their monarch during this tumultuous time. The photograph also includes various elements such as hats, wigs, regalia and a Dutch influence represented by Sir John and references to negligence charges against him. Overall, this historical artwork provides us with valuable insights into important events that shaped Queen Anne's early years as ruler while commemorating key moments from the War of Spanish Succession.
