In this lithograph, we are transported back to the 16th century where physician and physicist William Gilbert is demonstrating magnetism to Queen Elizabeth I. The scene takes place in a grand room, adorned with intricate tapestries and ornate furniture, reflecting the opulence of the Elizabethan era. Gilbert stands confidently before the queen, dressed in a traditional physician's attire. With an air of authority, he presents his groundbreaking invention to Her Majesty - magnetism. As he holds up various magnets and demonstrates their mysterious attraction, Queen Elizabeth gazes on with curiosity and intrigue. The image captures not only a significant moment in scientific history but also highlights the power dynamics between royalty and scholars during this time period. It showcases how intellectual pursuits were valued by monarchs like Queen Elizabeth I who sought knowledge from esteemed individuals such as Gilbert.
