The words etched into the glass read, "Fain would I climb but that I fear to fall," showcasing Raleigh's ambition tempered by caution.
The addition made by Queen Elizabeth completes the couplet with sage advice, "If thy heart fail thee, do not climb at all." This exchange between the queen and her courtier exemplifies their complex relationship, blending support and guidance in pursuit of greatness.
The intricate details of this 19th-century artwork bring to life an era of exploration and intrigue in England. The illustration is part of Philips' Picturesque History of England edited by J Francon Williams, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the dynamic personalities and challenges faced by figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth I.
