EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature of Anne Lister, the influential figure behind Shibden Hall in Yorkshire. Painted by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century, this watercolor on paper captures Lister's commanding presence and independent spirit. Anne Lister (1791-1840) was not only a wealthy landowner but also an avid diarist, mountaineer, and traveler. Her extraordinary life is beautifully encapsulated in this portrait, where she exudes power and confidence with her high collar and rich brown jacket. As one of history's notable LGBTQ+ figures, Lister's sexuality played a significant role in her life. She openly embraced her identity as a lesbian at a time when it was considered taboo. This portrait serves as a testament to her courage and defiance against societal norms. The brocade curtain backdrop adds depth to the composition while highlighting Lister's refined taste as an aristocratic woman of British society. Her pale complexion further emphasizes her uniqueness within historical narratives. Today, Anne Lister continues to inspire countless individuals through "Gentleman Jack" the popular TV series based on her life. This print not only pays tribute to her legacy but also celebrates queer history and sheds light on the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ individuals throughout time.
