EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in time during Queen Elizabeth I's progresses, or royal journeys, through her kingdom. The Yeoman of the Guard, a trusted and loyal member of the monarch's personal bodyguard, is depicted in meticulous detail as he attends to the queen on horseback. Dressed in the distinctive uniform of the time, the guardsman wears a red doublet with gold lacing and a black bonnet adorned with a white feather, signifying his rank and allegiance to the crown. His boots and spurs are also visible, indicating his readiness to mount his horse at a moment's notice. The engraving, created by N.C. Goodnight from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities respecting a History of the English Army," published in London in 1812, offers a rare glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the Tudor court. The queen, resplendent in her rich robes and jewels, is shown surrounded by her retinue, including other Yeomen of the Guard and members of her household. The intricate details of their uniforms and the ornate decorations on their horses reflect the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the Tudor court. The progresses were an essential part of Elizabeth's reign, allowing her to connect with her subjects and demonstrate her power and authority throughout her realm. This image captures the essence of that connection, with the Yeoman of the Guard standing guard over the queen as she travels through the countryside, ensuring her safety and maintaining the order and stability of the realm.
