EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Quickly pulling off his cloak he threw it upon the ground, 1581, (1905)", we witness a remarkable act of gallantry performed by Sir Walter Raleigh. The scene unfolds in the vibrant Elizabethan court as Raleigh swiftly removes his cloak and lays it on the ground to shield Queen Elizabeth I from a muddy puddle. This selfless gesture showcases Raleigh's unwavering devotion and respect for his monarch. The image is an illustration from the renowned book "Our Island Story" by H E Marshall, published in 1905. However, it is important to note that the book presented a heavily biased and pro-British perspective on history. Nevertheless, this particular moment captured beautifully by artist As Forrest transcends any political agenda or historical interpretation. Queen Elizabeth I stands elegantly adorned in her exquisite dress with intricate lace details while her loyal courtiers surround her. The vivid colors of their attire add vibrancy to the scene against the backdrop of England's rich heritage. This photograph encapsulates not only an act of chivalry but also symbolizes English culture and tradition during both the 16th century and early 20th century when this print was created. It serves as a reminder of Britain's proud history intertwined with tales of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice.
