EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Queen Elizabeth I of England, also known as the Virgin Queen, on her progress through the British Isles. Elizabeth, dressed in rich robes and wearing the iconic ruff collar, sits regally in a sedan chair, carried aloft by four strong men. The queen's progresses were an important aspect of her reign, allowing her to connect with her subjects and demonstrate her authority throughout her realms of England and Ireland. Elizabeth's reputation as the Virgin Queen was not only due to her lifelong celibacy but also her status as a symbol of the Church of England. Her reign marked a period of relative peace and prosperity, with England emerging as a major European power. The chair, a common mode of transport for royalty during this era, was an important symbol of status and power. The men carrying the chair, dressed in livery, are an essential part of the scene, demonstrating the elaborate courtly rituals and hierarchy of the time. This photograph, taken from the original print held by Mary Evans/AISA Media, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of Elizabethan England. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth I, who continues to fascinate historians and the public alike.
