EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Elizabetha Regina" transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases intricate details that bring history to life. The image is believed to have been originally featured in Joseph Cundall's book "A Brief History of Wood-engraving" published in 1895. It beautifully illustrates Queen Elizabeth I, known as Elizabetha Regina, who ruled England from 1558 until her death in 1603. Intriguingly, this engraving also holds connections to another historical artifact - "A Book of Christian Prayers" printed by John Daye in London during 1569. The use of firwood timber depicted here reminds us of its significance as firewood or kindling during that era. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of the power and influence held by Queen Elizabeth I during her reign. Her strong leadership and unwavering dedication shaped England's history significantly. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for our enjoyment today through Fine Art Finder. Let us appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the rich historical context captured within this exquisite engraving.
