1887 Astrology Caught Encounter Essex Graffiti Maxims Seemingly Virgo Zodiac Elizabeth Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 1887 print, titled 'Zodiac - Virgo: Maxims,' presents an imaginative encounter between Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Essex, set against the backdrop of the zodiac sign Virgo. The historical scene is illustrated with a playful and paranormal twist, as the Earl is seemingly caught in the act of graffiti on the walls of the Queen's castle. Elizabeth I, depicted in her regal attire, stands with a stern expression, her hand raised in reproach as she gazes upon Essex, who is shown with a quill in hand, scribbling on the castle wall. The zodiac sign of Virgo, symbolizing purity, modesty, and practicality, hovers above them, its celestial features casting an ethereal glow on the scene. The Maxims inscribed at the bottom of the print add an astrological dimension to the image, with each line representing a different aspect of Virgo's character. "Chaste as the moon, and pure as crystal clear, / In thought, in word, and deed, in look, in ear, / In every act, in every thought, in every part, / In every word, in every word, in every part." This print, with its blend of history, astrology, and paranormal elements, invites viewers to ponder the complexities of human nature and the enduring allure of the stars.
