EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we witness a moment of profound significance as Sir Walter Raleigh emerges from the confines of the Tower of London and pays homage at the tomb of his beloved Queen Elizabeth I. The image, skillfully created by Edward Frederick Skinner, transports us back to a pivotal era in English history. Sir Walter Raleigh, renowned for his prowess as a writer, poet, and soldier, stands tall with an air of reverence before the final resting place of his queen. Released from imprisonment within the formidable walls of the Tower, he is now free to honor her memory in this solemn act. The scene is imbued with a sense of both melancholy and admiration. As Raleigh gazes upon Queen Elizabeth's tombstone with deep respect and gratitude, one can almost feel his emotions reverberating through time. His loyalty to her remains unwavering even after enduring years behind bars. Skinner's lithographic technique brilliantly captures every detail - from Raleigh's dignified posture to the intricate engravings on the tomb itself. The composition exudes an aura of grandeur befitting these larger-than-life figures who shaped England's destiny. This poignant illustration originally appeared in "Little Treasure Island" by Arthur Mee around 1920. It serves as a testament not only to Sir Walter Raleigh's indomitable spirit but also to the lasting impact that Queen Elizabeth I had on those who served under her reign. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded that history is not merely confined within pages or museums; it lives on through art like this exquisite lithograph. It allows us glimpses into moments frozen in time – moments when great men paid homage to their extraordinary leaders amidst triumphs and tribulations alike.
