Anne Boleyn was the daughter of Sir Thomas Bullen, the second wife of Henry VIII and the mother of Elizabeth I. She married Henry in 1533 after his divorce from Katherine of Aragon and gave birth to Elizabeth in the same year. Her failure to produce a male heir, she miscarried a son in 1536, led to charges of treason being brought against her. She was tried and found guilty. She was beheaded along with her brother and two other men (who were accused of adultery with the Queen).

The History Behind Brass Rubbing

Monumental brasses were produced between 1000 – 1650 AD as a commemoration to the dead, or as a special church related event. Today, only approximately 8,000 monumental brasses left. Because the metal and enamel used to create these monuments were such precious commodities, many were destroyed and melted down to create armament. In addition, many of the brasses were destroyed during the various religious uprisings in Great Britain and the continent.

Brass rubbings are done by stretching a linen rag paper over the deeply etched monumental brass that is usually found at the gravesite. After securing the paper, heelball (a very hard wax) is rubbed vigorously over the paper surface to get an exact copy of the brass plate. A single rubbing can take from 2 hours to 2 days to complete depending in it\'s size, condition, and complexity.

Measurements

Queen Anne Boleyn measures approximately 10 by 17 inches. She has been made with gold heelball on black paper produced specifically for brass rubbing. She will arrive ready for mounting and framing
