EDITORS COMMENTS
This brass rubbing depicts Elizabeth Parker, a woman of Radwell, Hertfordshire, from the early 17th century. The intricately detailed image, created by the process of transferring the raised design from a brass memorial plate to paper, showcases Elizabeth in her Elizabethan attire. She is dressed in a high-collared ruff, a coat adorned with elaborate embroidery, and displays her family arms on her sleeve. The inscription below her image reads, "Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth Parker, dau. of John Parker of Radwell, who departed this life the 23 day of March Anno Domini 1603, Aetat. 27." The brass rubbing is a poignant reminder of the commemorative traditions of the past, serving as a memorial to Elizabeth's life. Brass rubbings were a popular way to create lasting records of memorials, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries when brass memorials were common. The process of creating a brass rubbing involved covering the raised areas of the brass memorial with paper and applying a soft material, such as a piece of charcoal or a crayon, to transfer the design onto the paper. The delicate and intricate details of this brass rubbing offer a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history and culture of the Elizabethan era. The image of Elizabeth Parker, with her Elizabethan costume and the inscription beneath her, serves as a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the importance of commemoration in the face of death.
