EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Queen Elizabeth I of England signs the death warrant of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. Engraved by C. Butterworth and skillfully brought to life by Sandor Liezen-Meyer, this image is a testament to the power and complexity of female rulers. Queen Elizabeth's hesitance is palpable as she contemplates the fate of her fellow royal. The discovery of the Babington Plot, a conspiracy against Elizabeth's reign orchestrated by Mary, forced her hand in making this difficult decision. In this moment frozen in time, we witness the distress etched on Queen Elizabeth's face as she grapples with the weighty consequences that lie ahead. The Tudor ruler's resolute gaze speaks volumes about her determination to protect her kingdom from any threat, even if it means sacrificing family ties. This photograph encapsulates not only the political turmoil surrounding these two powerful women but also their shared lineage and complicated relationship. As we delve into this historical masterpiece from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded that royalty is not exempt from moments of doubt or anguish. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those who hold immense power must make agonizing choices for the greater good. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate and reflect upon this significant event in British history—a visual representation capturing both strength and vulnerability within female leadership during an era defined by its tumultuous politics.
