EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured copper engraving captures the grandeur and splendor of Queen Elizabeth I's arrival at Nonesuch Palace, a favorite residence of the Tudor monarch. The view from the south showcases the architectural magnificence of this unique palace, commissioned by Henry VIII in 1538 to commemorate the birth of his son Edward and to rival the opulent French Renaissance chateaux. The inscription on this print highlights that nowhere else can one find anything quite like Nonesuch. It was truly a symbol of power and prestige for Elizabeth I during her reign as Queen of England from 1558 to 1603. The image is based on Joris Hoefnagel's drawing made in 1582, which was later reproduced in Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Braun & Hogenberg and published in Cologne. In addition to capturing the regal atmosphere surrounding Queen Elizabeth I's arrival, this print also offers a glimpse into Tudor society. From left to right below the main scene, we see various individuals representing different segments of society: English maidens, wives of merchants, noble lady-in-waiting, country people, fish seller, and water carrier. This inclusion adds depth and context to an already captivating image. Overall, this print serves as both a historical document and a work of art that encapsulates not only Queen Elizabeth I's prestigious arrival but also provides insight into Tudor society during that era.
