EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored engraving, we are transported back to the 16th century at Bradgate Manor in England. The scene depicts a significant encounter between Lady Jane Grey and Roger Ascham, offering us a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of this remarkable young woman. Lady Jane Grey, known for her short-lived reign as Queen of England, is shown engrossed in deep contemplation as she reads Plato's timeless works. Her delicate features and poised demeanor exude an air of intelligence and curiosity that was far beyond her years. Roger Ascham, a renowned scholar and tutor to many prominent figures of his time, has called upon Lady Jane Grey at Bradgate Manor. His presence signifies the importance placed on education during this era. As he engages with Lady Jane Grey over matters of philosophy and literature, their conversation undoubtedly delves into profound depths. This enchanting illustration not only captures the essence of Lady Jane Grey's thirst for knowledge but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage and traditional values that were cherished in 16th-century Britain. It reminds us of how education transcends gender boundaries and empowers individuals to shape history. As we admire this vintage artwork from North Wind Picture Archives, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil and societal constraints, there were individuals like Lady Jane Grey who sought solace within the pages of books – forever leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
