EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the dedication to Queen Elizabeth I from a remarkable book of maps of England and Wales. Created by Christopher Saxton in 1579, this masterpiece was published during the illustrious reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The photograph, courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, transports us back to the 16th century when this book marked an important milestone in cartography. Intriguingly, this collection represents the first survey ever conducted on the counties of England. The dedication itself is a testament to Queen Elizabeth's influential role as a female ruler in British history. As we gaze upon this image, we are captivated by its regal atmosphere; columns frame both sides while a grand throne takes center stage with an elegant portrait adorning it. The presence of men surrounding Her Majesty emphasizes her royal authority and power. It serves as a reminder that she was not only revered within her own country but also commanded respect from other nations across Europe. This print beautifully captures the essence and significance of Queen Elizabeth I's reign. It symbolizes her enduring legacy as one of Britain's most iconic rulers while paying homage to Christopher Saxton's groundbreaking work in mapping England's diverse landscapes for generations to come.
