EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illuminated letter C, adorned with intricate decorative elements, framing an image of Queen Elizabeth I in her regal splendor. The year is 1577, and the Queen, dressed in her grand attire, sits majestically on her throne, holding the orb and sceptre. Surrounding her are three esteemed members of her Privy Council, their faces etched with expressions of reverence and loyalty. This stunning image is a 19th century reproduction of an original woodcut, which was first published in Foxe's Book of Martyrs by John Daye, a prominent printer of the time. The woodcut was initially printed in 1563, and later reappeared in John Dee's General and Rare Memorials, Pertaining to the Perfect Arte of Navigation in 1577. The illuminated letter C, with its elaborate design, adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to the image of the Queen. The letter, a symbol of the alphabet and the beginning of the English language, is a fitting representation of the power and importance of the monarch. Elizabeth I, known as the Virgin Queen, ruled England from 1558 to 1603. Her reign was marked by prosperity, cultural advancements, and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. This print serves as a testament to her royalty and the rich history of the British monarchy. The intricate details of the woodcut, from the Queen's regal attire to the ornate decorations on the throne, transport us back to the 16th century and offer a glimpse into the world of royalty and decorative arts during this period.
