EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1588 showcases Queen Elizabeth I of England and Ireland, depicting her with an astrological diagram of the heavens. The intricate artwork features immovable justice placed at the center, symbolizing the queen's unwavering commitment to fairness and righteousness. The celestial allegory surrounding Elizabeth represents her connection to the divine and her role as a ruler in harmony with cosmic forces. Her regal presence is enhanced by the royal crown adorning her head, signifying her authority over both England and Ireland during her reign from 1558 to 1603. The inclusion of occult symbols and references to space further adds depth to this portrait. The astrological diagram reflects the prevailing interest in astrology during Elizabethan times, highlighting how she was influenced by these beliefs in shaping political decisions. The artist, John Cases, created this woodcut for his work "Sphaera Civitatis" published in Oxford. This piece not only serves as a representation of Elizabeth I but also provides insight into the intellectual climate of late Tudor England. Overall, this woodcut print captures both the grandeur of Queen Elizabeth I's rule and her fascination with astrology and celestial symbolism. It stands as a testament to her power as a monarch who sought guidance from heavenly bodies while embodying justice at its core.
