EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical lithograph, Sir Walter Raleigh's chivalrous act takes center stage as he lays his cloak before Queen Elizabeth I to protect her from a lowly puddle. The image captures a moment of courtly manners and showcases the legendary charm that made Raleigh a favorite among the English monarchs. The scene is set in the grandeur of Queen Elizabeth's court, with its opulent red draperies and ornate golden accents. Her regal presence is emphasized by her flowing crimson cape and majestic crown, while Raleigh kneels before her in humble adoration. His fiery red hair adds an element of playfulness to the composition. This humorous cigarette card from 1936 not only entertains but also pays homage to historical figures and their intriguing tales. It reminds us of Raleigh's adventurous spirit as an explorer who famously introduced tobacco to England. The inclusion of a ship in the background serves as a nod to his seafaring exploits. Bull's skillful use of color brings life to this vintage print, making it visually captivating even after all these years. This charming artwork transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the elegance and etiquette that characterized Elizabethan society. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection, this delightful lithograph offers both aesthetic pleasure and historical intrigue for art enthusiasts seeking unique pieces with stories woven into their very fabric.
