About the Item

Here is your catalog listing in plain text: Title: Great Seal of Queen Anne – Rapin’s History of England c.1786 Description: This antique print depicts the Great Seal of Queen Anne, originating from *The History of England* by Mr. Rapin de Thoyras, published circa 1786. The finely detailed copperplate engraving shows both the obverse and reverse of Queen Anne’s seal, beautifully hand coloured in regal gold tones. The upper medallion presents Queen Anne enthroned beneath an architectural canopy, crowned and robed, holding the orb and sceptre, signifying her sovereign power and divine right to rule. Surrounding her are symbolic figures representing justice, strength, and wisdom, while cherubs support the royal arms above. The Latin inscription proclaims Anne as Queen of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith. The lower medallion depicts Queen Anne seated on horseback in full regalia, with sceptre and crown, affirming her royal authority and military command. The detailed background with landscape and heraldic symbolism emphasises her reign as the first monarch of Great Britain after the Act of Union with Scotland in 1707. Technique: Copperplate engraving with later hand colouring. Published in Rapin’s *History of England*, circa 1786, London. Condition summary: Very good antique condition. Sheet with light toning and minimal handling marks to the margins, strong clean impression with clear golden details. Small tear in the right border, touching the image. Framing tips: For an elegant presentation, mount this historical seal print in a gilt or dark wood frame to complement the gold details, with a deep burgundy or royal blue mat to enhance its regal theme. Ideal for traditional libraries, British royal collections, or historical educational displays.
