EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the historic Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol, a cannon that holds significant importance in English history, located at Dover Castle in Kent, England. The cannon, built in Utrecht, Netherlands, in 1544 by Jan Tolhuys, predates Elizabeth I's reign but was presented to her father, Henry VIII, by Maximiliaan van Egmond, Count of Buren and Stadtholder of Friesland, as a gift for his young daughter. The inscription on the cannon reads, "Load me well and keep me clean, I'll carry my ball to Calais Green." The Elizabethan-era gun, decorated with intricate designs, is a testament to the advanced artillery technology of the time. Although it was not built specifically for Elizabeth, it bears her name and has become an iconic symbol of her reign. The cannon saw action during the English Civil War, first at the siege of Hull in 1642 and later at the siege of Sheffield in 1644, after being recaptured by the Roundheads. The photograph, taken in 1911, captures the grandeur and historical significance of this artillery piece, which has stood guard at Dover Castle for centuries, playing a crucial role in the defense of England's southeastern coast. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history of this cannon and its role in England's military past.
