EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Queen Anne touching Young Samuel Johnson for the Evil" transports us back to 18th-century England. The image showcases a significant historical moment, depicting Queen Anne herself reaching out to touch the young Samuel Johnson's forehead, believed to cure him of scrofula, also known as the "evil". The attention to detail in this 19th-century artwork is truly remarkable. Every line and shadow brings depth and emotion to the scene. The artist skillfully captures the solemn expressions on both Queen Anne's face and that of young Samuel Johnson, who gazes up at her with hope and trust. This print originates from John Cassells Illustrated History of England, published by W Kent in 1857/1858. It has been digitally cleaned, preserving its original charm while enhancing its clarity for modern viewers. The significance of this engraving lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. It serves as a reminder of an era when royalty was seen as having divine healing powers and their touch was believed capable of curing ailments like scrofula. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us reflect on how our understanding of medicine has evolved over time while appreciating the rich history it represents.
