EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning cup dating back to the 16th century. Created by renowned artist Henry Shaw, this decorative cup is believed to have been presented by Queen Elizabeth I herself to Sir Martin Bowes, a prominent member of the Company of Goldsmiths and lord mayor of London during her reign. The cup, made of silver gilt and adorned with sparkling crystals, proudly displays the arms of Martin Bowes. Featured in Henry Shaw's book "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries" published in 1843, this illustration transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the opulence and craftsmanship of that era. The intricate details on this artifact highlight its significance as both an emblematic piece representing heraldry and coat of arms while also serving as a symbol for trade within the guild. The vibrant colors captured in this print add depth and allure to an already exquisite object. It serves as a testament not only to Queen Elizabeth's generosity but also to Sir Martin Bowes' esteemed position within society. As we admire this remarkable piece through Heritage Images' lens, we are reminded once again how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate historical treasures like this magnificent cup from centuries past.
