Queen Mary I
39 x 24cm (15.25 x 9.5 inches)
This antique engraving was created in 1777 in London, England for William Augustus Russel's impressive work about the history of England. His work included famous scenes, portraits of royalty and impressive ships.
It was made by copper plate engraving, has hand painted water colouring and well defined plate marks, is beautifully detailed and is on handmade, chain-linked paper. The engraving is on one side, the other side is blank. The paper has a lovely aged, creamy white patina. The border around the print is a little larger than shown. It is in good condition considering it is over 240 years old.
Mary I (1516-1558) was queen of England from 1553. Mary was the only child of Henry VIII by his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. She was aso known as Mary Tudor and Bloody Mary.
