1590 Faerie Queene Spenser Throne
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the Faerie Queene, or Queen Elizabeth I of England, seated regally on her ornate throne. The photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online in 1590, offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of the Elizabethan era. Elizabeth I, also known as the Virgin Queen, reigned from 1558 to 1603, a period marked by prosperity, cultural flourishing, and military success. Her reign is celebrated for its stability and continuity, as well as for her patronage of the arts and sciences. The Faerie Queene, a poetic work by Edmund Spenser, was first published in 1590, during Elizabeth's reign. The poem's title page features an illustration of the queen on her throne, emphasizing her connection to the magical and mythical world of the Faerie Queene. Spenser's work, which explores themes of chivalry, morality, and the power of love, was dedicated to Elizabeth and reflects the cultural and literary milieu of her court. The queen's throne, adorned with intricate carvings and rich fabrics, symbolizes her power, authority, and majesty. Her regal attire, featuring a velvet gown and ermine-trimmed mantle, further emphasizes her status as a monarch. The queen's expression, serene and confident, conveys her strength and wisdom, making this photograph a powerful representation of Elizabeth I and her reign. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering insights into the visual culture and political history of the Elizabethan era. The Faerie Queene, with its iconic image of the queen on her throne, remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Elizabeth I and her impact on English history.
