New Year's Gifts to Queen Elizabeth - A Glimpse into Tudor Festivities
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by James Stephanoff and now part of a private collection, offers us a fascinating glimpse into the customs and pleasures of the Elizabethan era. The scene depicts Queen Elizabeth I surrounded by an array of presents, beautifully wrapped and adorned with ribbons. The illustration is taken from William Sandys' book "Christmastide, its History, Festivities and Carols" published around 1860. It showcases the tradition of exchanging New Year's gifts during this joyous season in England. Intriguingly, we see influences from Germany as well. The Tudor period was marked by strong ties between England and Europe, particularly North Germany. This connection is evident in the Germanic elements present in these delightful offerings. As we explore this image further, it becomes clear that gift-giving held great significance during Christmastide for both royalty and commoners alike. These presents were not only tokens of affection but also symbols of loyalty and goodwill towards Her Majesty. Through this enchanting print, we are transported back to a time when festivities were filled with merriment and tradition. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found joy in celebrating together during the holiday season. Let us cherish our own traditions while appreciating those passed down through generations – just as Queen Elizabeth did all those years ago.
