EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from Sir Walter Scott's "Kenilworth" we witness a moment of intense emotion as Queen Elizabeth I tears up a letter from Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. Published in 1912 by Henry Justice Ford, this color lithograph beautifully captures the raw power and complexity of Elizabeth's character. The scene takes place within the confines of an opulent interior, where Elizabeth stands surrounded by her loyal ladies-in-waiting. With furrowed brows and clenched fists, she embodies both anger and jealousy. The torn letter lies scattered on the floor at her feet, symbolizing her rejection of Dudley's advances. As one of England's most powerful rulers, Queen Elizabeth I was known for her strong will and determination. This image showcases her fiery temperament as she confronts feelings that threaten to consume her. Through this illustration, we glimpse into the tumultuous world of court politics and personal relationships that defined Elizabethan England. Ford masterfully portrays not only the queen's rage but also hints at deeper emotions beneath the surface. The tearing gesture signifies more than just disdain; it reveals a woman grappling with conflicting desires while maintaining control over her kingdom. This print serves as a reminder that even great rulers are not immune to human frailties such as love and jealousy. It invites us to explore the complex inner lives behind historical figures who shaped nations and reminds us that their stories continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
