1654 Arundel Countess Excellent Illustrious Surrey Talbot Alathea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving showcases the radiant visage of Alathea Countess of Arundel and Surrey, a woman of great distinction and nobility in English history. Born into the esteemed Talbot family, she married Thomas, the second Earl of Arundel and Surrey, in the late 16th century. Her title as the first Countess of England was bestowed upon her in recognition of her husband's appointment as Lord Chamberlain to King James I. The intricately detailed engraving captures the elegance and refinement of Alathea's countenance. Her regal bearing and serene expression convey a sense of strength and grace, reflecting the dignity and poise expected of a lady of her rank. The delicate folds of her gown and the intricate patterns of her headdress further emphasize the opulence and grandeur of the period. Alathea's life was marked by tragedy and triumph. She survived her husband in 1646 and was later involved in a bitter dispute with her stepson over the family estates. Despite these challenges, she remained a figure of admiration and respect, known for her resilience and determination. This fine engraving serves as a testament to Alathea's illustrious and excellent reputation, immortalizing her image for future generations to appreciate. The engraving, dated to around 1654, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the lives of the English aristocracy during the early modern period.
