EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Lord Burleigh" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the life of one of England's most influential statesmen. Lord Burleigh, also known as William Cecil, served as Queen Elizabeth I's chief advisor for the majority of her reign. The artist skillfully captures his dignified presence in this half-length portrait. Dressed in elaborate Elizabethan attire, Lord Burleigh exudes authority and sophistication. His regal hat adds an air of nobility while symbolizing his high-ranking position within the royal court. As Secretary of State and Lord High Treasurer, he played a crucial role in shaping English politics during this pivotal era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched by R Cooper brings out the intricate fashions and clothing styles prevalent during that time. This print not only showcases Lord Burleigh but also serves as a window into Elizabethan society. Displayed in private collections for years, this engraving now finds its place among other historical treasures at Look and Learn / Elgar Collection.
