EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian-era print, titled 'Victorian Scrap, Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh,' transports us back in time to the elegant and intricate world of British royalty during the late 1800s. The image, produced around the 1880s, depicts Queen Elizabeth I (r. 1558-1603) in a grand, ornate cloak, standing regally with her hands folded in front of her, while Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) humbly kneels before her, demonstrating the utmost courtesy and polite deference. The Queen, dressed in her iconic ruff collar and intricate headdress, gazes down at Raleigh with a look of benevolent consideration. The scene is set beside a puddle, reflecting the opulence of their surroundings and adding an element of whimsy to the image. Sir Walter Raleigh, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, was a renowned explorer, writer, and courtier. He is most famously known for his role in the discovery of tobacco and his exploration of the New World. The image captures a moment of respect and admiration between the monarch and her trusted advisor, highlighting the etiquette and politeness that were integral to the royal court during the Elizabethan era. The intricate details in the print, from the Queen's elaborate cloak to the textured water in the puddle, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the Victorian era's printmakers. This piece of history offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British royalty and the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh.
