Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh, 1850 - A Satirical Illustration of Chivalry and Wit
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by artist John Leech, we are transported back to the 16th century where Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh engage in a playful act of gallantry. Set against the backdrop of a grand castle, the scene captures an intriguing moment between these two historical figures. Sir Walter Raleigh, known for his charm and wit, performs an act of chivalry as he places his cloak over a muddy puddle to protect Queen Elizabeth's regal shoes. The queen, dressed in her resplendent royal attire with a ruff collar and crinoline dress, graciously accepts this gesture. This satirical illustration from "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A. Beckett showcases not only the monarch's power but also their lighter side. It highlights the timeless concept of chivalry while subtly poking fun at societal norms. John Leech's intricate engraving brings life to this historic encounter, capturing every detail from the chessboard on which they stand to the rook chess piece symbolizing their strategic moves in both politics and courtly affairs. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of an era when wit and elegance were highly valued virtues among royalty. Through Leech's artistry, we witness a glimpse into history that is both entertaining and thought-provoking – reminding us that even queens can appreciate acts of gallantry amidst their reigns.
