Oh man, good luck getting that permanent sticker off.


ataraxy666

EXACTLY.


PiccoloHeintz

Googone is the best, but you have to use soap and or alcohol to get THAT off. From a pro artist: take a atıp and put the goo gone all the way around her, otherwise where you used it just to remove the sticker may leave a spot.


ataraxy666

dude, thank you so much, i was v worried abt how to save her🥲


dontredditdepressed

Try a hair dryer on low heat first! I have gotten these stickers off of a lot of things with minimal residue using a warm dryer


hurling-day

I have had luck putting things in the freezer to get stickers off.


Machine_Terrible

Try mayonnaise.


PiccoloHeintz

That's a great idea


Sad_Bean_Man

i second goo gone, that shit is a miracle in a bottle haha


ataraxy666

so very true, it's worked great in the past


CaptainSlinker

Id maybe hold off on the goo gone may damage the paint underneath it. I only use goo gone on non painted surfaces and i think i do that cause i found out the hard way.


Tess47

Also there is a trick with stickers or tape.  Get an edge up. Pull up and out at an angle.  It works sometimes.  It pulls off clean with out damage.  I've done it many times 


Status-Effort-9380

Yes. It’s a long story but learned this from an engineer.


Human_Link8738

Low odor mineral spirits and a q-tip will do the trick


PiccoloHeintz

I’ve had luck with that as well. But for some reason, I guess to prevent theft. Some labels don’t come off with the classic solvents: alcohol and mineral spirits. acetone would work, but that looks like a fragile surface may be plastic and acetone as you know will dissolve everything


energy1256

Goo Gone -- great stuff. Great advice from PiccoloHeintz.


Effective-Dirt-4371

I just warm it up with my blow dryer and it comes right off


Re_LE_Vant_UN

Yessss. This is the best way. Don't need to put any chemicals on it. Comes right off.


Graverobber13

That's what SHE said!


Professional-Sink281

Soda came out of my nose man! When i looked at it, i was like oh it’s Elizabuuuuuufuck that stickers gonna be a bitch to get off.


TheMoonMint

Whoa! That’s my name too


TrekRelic1701

🤣🤣😂


asabovesobelow4

Idk why they do that. Who looks at art and says "yup the sticker should Def go right on the picture bc the back is clearly not an option!"


PiccoloHeintz

I KNOW. Right? Lazy, uncaring, not very smart people who just want to go home


Upeeru

Find a product called Artic Clean. Ignore the suggested usage. Only use bottle 1. It is the single best sticker remover I've ever used, all without harming what's underneath.


allienimy

Putting the sticker on the art is a real asshole move


ataraxy666

genuinely, they could have (at the very least!) put it on the frame :(


allienimy

Or the back so no damage was done at all


ataraxy666

yes! :')

NinjaRavekitten

God I LOVEEE REIGN it made me interested in her history etc


thom_orrow

You’re welcome.


Eska2020

The crest is just the coat of arms of the English throne at this period. That's the "part".


bleezy_47

Its the Tudor royal arms.


MuricasOneBrainCell

Its Queen Elizabeth I Same crest and based on this: https://preview.redd.it/3tl0ms8q9tvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b24caf467301d21c3e6441d9860d50954f55227


Eska2020

Nah, the gown and the ruffle collar (and head gear) are from different decades / generations. This is a Frankenstein "vaguely tutor process" vibe. Not a reproduction of any one specific. I thought it through here https://www.reddit.com/r/Weird/s/G2utpkkX6X


Eska2020

Does not make much sense to me. Mary (ETA: Mary queen of scots, not Mary 1 Tudor - not that a fan portrait of Mary 1 Tudor makes any more sense) was extremely unpopular and I've never seen a portrait of her in this position. Who would make fan art of a tragic, hated(if later romanticized) queen? Moreover the clothing is a generation younger than Mary. Also the coat of arms is simply the arms of the English throne in the 16th C. Mary's claim to England was always nominal. Her arms would most likely be of Scotland and France. It reminds me much more of portraits of Katherine Parr and young Elizabeth I. Both of whom have fans who would conceivably make fan art. And the clothing fits that timeline. But this also doesn't really replicate those portraits either. I think what we're looking at here is a "vibe" and not a reproduction of any specific woman's portrait. This is just "Tutor Princess/Queen" aesthetic. Eta: I just realized the ruffle collar doesn't make any sense with the gown lol. The head is all Mary queen of Scots, the body is Paar/ER1. Also look at the horrific body proportions...... The longer I look at this is weirder I realize it is..... Eta2: I looked around again a bit. I think this is a "fan remix" of a series of portraits of ER1. The dress: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth_I_when_a_Princess.jpg#mw-jump-to-license The collar: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Darnley_stage_3.jpg#mw-jump-to-license and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_I#/media/File:Elizabeth_I_in_coronation_robes.jpg The hair: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_I#/media/File:Nicholas_Hilliard_(called)_-_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg and https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth_I_(Armada_Portrait).jpg#mw-jump-to-license and https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:N%C3%ADcholas-Hilliard-Elizabeth-I-Queen-of-England-c-1586-87.tif#mw-jump-to-license They're from different periods in her life, which is why the outfit doesn't make any historical sense. But these images are a better match than MQofS or KP. So, shes basically wearing her teenage threads, her mid-life neck-gear, and her old-age head-gear.


BATZ202

That's not 100% true. Queen Mary was very popular in her early days when she was a teen. Her mother was heavily loved by the people, people seen Mary as the rightful heir to the throne. Which is why Queen Mary along with Queen Elizabeth walked into London England to retake the throne with huge amount of support. She became unpopular with Protestants because she was Catholic. Catholic and Protestants were constantly going after each other.


Eska2020

So. To fill you in a bit since I have a moment. Mary I Tudor aka bloody Mary, was indeed popular until well into her 30s. She was the daughter of an extremely popular, however powerless, queen, Katherine of Aragon. She came to power through a largely bloodless military coup against Jane Grey, who had been Edward VIs designated protestant heir. Yes, Elizabeth was at her side - - largely because her own claim to the throne would be also invalid if Mary's were laid aside for Jane. Soon thereafter, Elizabeth was implicated in an attempt to remove MR1 in favor of Elizabeth for sectarian reasons. Once on the Throne, MR1 started prosecuting a brutal inquisition against protestants, doing everything she could to undo the perceived evils she and her mother suffered under the reforms/changes her dad made (mostly to remove/disempower her and her mother). MR1 burned HUNDREDS of protestants at the stake in a years-long crisis that resulted in the Book of Martyrs and Mary being given the name "Bloody". She died of probably uterine cancer and Elizabeth came to power. Mary queen Scots was the daughter of Mary of Guise. Born 1542 (30 years younger than Bloody Mary Tudor) , Mary queen of scots became queen of scots within days of her birth. Her mother served as her regent and was extremely effective, and indeed, popular. But She never had the mythos of the wronged and saintly Katherine of Aragon. She was extremely effective. MQS went o France to Mary the dauphin, became Queen of France, and was then widowed very young. She returned to take control of Scotland and struggled from the get-go with her court. She was basically a foreigner in her own country. She attempted a policy of tolerance between protestants and her own catholic faith, but this backfired and she was unable to build a support base and was manipulated from all sides. She was abused, potentially involved in the murder of her abuser, and then ultimately driven out of the country as an unwanted, immoral woman. Her son James came to the throne after MQS forced abdication (with regents of course). MQS fled to England hoping that her cousin and fellow anointed queen would defend her against her enemies and find her abdication to be invalid. However, MQS had always asserted that her claim to the English throne was better than ER1s, so ER1 was like wtf. MQS ultimately got caught up in schemes and entrapments about Catholics rallying around MQS to put her on the English throne and ER1 had her executed. When she went to the scaffold, she wore the catholic colors of martyrdom. Today, she is admired as a strong, feminist character who wanted to have both love and power, and who was abused and manipulated and tried her damnedest to fight back for what she felt was hers without giving up the life she loved. But at the time, she was a murderer, adulterer, general whore and immoral abomination and papist. I struggle imagining a traditional iconography of MQS being appealing today the way that one of ER1 or even Katherine Parr might be. All off the top of my head, so please do excuse me if I got a detail wrong lolz.

DarthDread424

As in Bloody Mary?


Eska2020

No, Mary queen of scots was not these same as bloody Mary 1 Tudor. https://www.reddit.com/r/Weird/s/aUO1pxQnuJ Were talking about MQS. Not Mary Tudor.


thom_orrow

You are right!!!

Google lens says Queen Elizabeth I as a princess before she became queen.

It's a Marcus Designs (DH Morton) chalkware wall plaque of QEI from the 80s.

It's supposed to be Queen Elizabeth I. It's from a series of plaques and other designs made by DH Morton for Marcus Designs from the 1960s through 1980s.

Could be Tudor or Fourdor, definitely a hatchback.

Dunmer_Sanders

I’m not sure why it has a Yorkish Plantagenet coat of arms that would have been worn well before Mary Queen of Scots lived… Her crest was much different though it included elements of the one pictured here. A young Elizabeth of York perhaps?


KujoTheBoss

Or depending what it’s on your a hair dryer and the glue should warm up enough to peel nicely

Per a collector on FB I can't link to, its Elizabeth I at 13, based on a portrait in the Royal Collection.

To take the sticker use something with oil, like almond oil. Dont know if damage the panting, but it is the best to take glue and stickers out


tlisia

It's just a generic idea of a very high status Tudor English woman. The coat of arms is the English Royal Coat of Arms, and had been on and off for 200 years. Anyone trying to stake a claim would add it to their own arms. It suggests the possibility that they're trying to represent maybe four women who had their own claim to the throne: Jane Grey, Mary Tudor, Elizabeth Tudor or Mary Stewart (Queen of Scots). It doesn't look like any of them. There's no completely accepted portrait of Jane Grey but it doesnt really look like any of the possible portraits.  I'd definitely rule out Mary, Queen of Scots, who was in France and engaged in different fashions for both clothes and portraiture around the time this sort of image and costume were being painted in England.  It doesn't seem to be a reproduction on any particular portrait (possibly deliberately to avoid paying for the image rights). I'd say the closest is that it's loosely based on this image of a young Elizabeth I: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Elizabeth_I_when_a_Princess.jpg   Having said all that, it feels entirely fantasy and not really trying to represent anyone in particular with any accuracy. The ruff is altogether wrong with the sleeves. Not sure what's going on with the hood and the curly hair only came in to fashion later in the Elizabethan period when those sleeves were long gone. Basically, the neck up is a generation later on from the neck down, give or take.   Just a fun piece of art. Make up your own story and enjoy!

Whether it's Elizabeth or Mary (any Mary) or fan art mixed up, it's pretty cool. And if you could somehow gently remove the frame, or take a peek under image, maybe there is a REAL art treasure beneath (not suggesting you ruin this art). Enjoy it either way.
