Queen Elizabeth I hawking, 1575, (1910)
Queen Elizabeth I hawking, 1575, (1910). A 19th-century rendition from the Art of Falconrie by Turberville, (1585). The doublets have innumerable slashing, with the shirt protruding through the panes, and a small ruffle at the wrists. The doublet is tight-fitting with a crescent-shaped roll at the shoulder, and the front coming to a point. They were so hard-quilted, stuffed, bombasted and sewed that men could neither work nor yet play in them. The collar is high and close to the neck, and surmounted by a ruff. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910)

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Queen Elizabeth I engaging in the ancient sport of hawking, a popular activity during her reign. Taken in 1575 and later reproduced in 1910, this image beautifully captures the essence of the era's fashion and royal pastimes. Queen Elizabeth is seen astride a majestic horse, elegantly dressed in an elaborate costume befitting her regal status. Her attire features a tight-fitting doublet with intricate slashing and a small ruffle at the wrists. The collar sits high around her neck, adorned with a magnificent ruff that adds to her majestic presence. Accompanied by her loyal hunting dog, she holds onto a falconry glove while clutching onto the reins of her steed. A magnificent bird of prey perches on her gloved hand, its feathers glistening under the sunlight. The queen's intense gaze reflects both determination and grace as she prepares for an exhilarating hunt. This portrait not only highlights Queen Elizabeth I's love for outdoor pursuits but also provides us with valuable insights into the fashion trends prevalent during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to both her power as England's sovereign ruler and her passion for adventure. Captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown from an original illustration by George Turberville, this remarkable photograph immortalizes one of history's most iconic monarchs engaged in one of her favorite pastimes - hawking.
