Britannia and Hibernia Art Print
This striking 19th-century chromolithograph allegorically represents England and Ireland as female figures within a symbolic landscape. England, likely depicted as Britannia, wears a helmet and partial armor, her blue and red drape over a white gown suggesting power and authority. A lion at her side holds a shield emblazoned with the Union Jack, while a distant cityscape reinforces her dominion.
Opposite her, Ireland—personified as Hibernia—wears a flowing white gown with a pink skirt, holding a harp and a scroll, symbols of national identity and cultural heritage. A carved stone plinth stands behind her, hinting at historical depth. A central tree divides the two figures, subtly alluding to the intertwined yet distinct histories of the two nations.
These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
These are reproductions of old illustrations & in most cases will have the same imperfections as the original.
