EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century engraving captures the moment of profound gratitude and relief felt by Queen Elizabeth I as she gives thanks for her deliverance from her persecutors. The image portrays Elizabeth I, dressed in regal attire, seated on a throne, her hands folded in prayer. Her eyes are closed in devotion, her face serene and resolute. Surrounding her are the symbols of her power and authority - the orb and sceptre, the crown, and the emblems of the Tudor rose and the fleur-de-lis. Elizabeth I's reign, which began in 1558, was marked by political instability and religious turmoil. She succeeded her half-sister, Mary I, who had ruled for just five years and whose reign was marred by her brutal persecution of Protestants. Elizabeth I, a Protestant herself, faced numerous threats to her throne, including plots to overthrow her and restore Catholicism. Despite these challenges, Elizabeth I managed to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and religion, securing her position as a strong and capable ruler. This engraving commemorates a pivotal moment in her reign, when she was able to look back on the dangers she had faced and give thanks for her survival. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of Elizabeth I's robes to the intricate patterns of the Tudor rose and fleur-de-lis, highlight the skill and artistry of the engraver. The image is a testament to the enduring power of the monarchy and the resilience of Elizabeth I, who defied the odds and ruled England for over forty years.
