EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing the essence of Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge. The focal point is an oval-shaped portrait of Frances Radclyffe, Countess of Sussex, who was not only a prominent courtier but also the founder of this prestigious institution. As Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth I, Frances played a significant role in English history. The engraving by Edward Harding beautifully showcases Frances Radclyffe's elegant dress and her distinctive ruff collar - iconic fashion choices from the Elizabethan era. The monochrome landscape surrounding her adds depth and context to this historical masterpiece. Sidney Sussex College itself stands proudly in the background, providing a glimpse into its rich heritage as one of Cambridge University's oldest colleges. This image serves as a reminder that education has always been at the forefront of progress and societal development. Through this photo print, we are transported to 19th-century Britain where women like Frances Radclyffe defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on their country's history. It is a testament to their strength and resilience that continues to inspire women today. This remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously while celebrating influential women who have shaped our world.
