EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print takes us back to the 16th century, specifically to Queen Elizabeth I's reign in Parliament. The photograph showcases the ancient chamber of the Palace, which dates back to the 12th century. In this historical moment frozen in time, we witness a bustling scene as members of Parliament gather around the Bar while Queen Elizabeth I sits on her majestic throne. The composition highlights both male and female figures engaged in politics, reflecting an era when women's roles were often overlooked. The Chancellors Seat is prominently placed before Her Majesty, symbolizing authority and power. The richly colored canopy above adds a touch of grandeur to the scene. As we explore this image further, we notice intricate furniture that adorns the chamber, emphasizing its regal ambiance. This visual representation provides insight into British history and monarchy during this significant period. The print itself is a remarkable work by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith from their book "Parliament Past and Present" published in London around 1905. Their meticulous attention to detail brings life to what was originally a black-and-white photograph. Through this colorization process, we are transported back centuries ago into an important chapter of British political heritage—a time when Queen Elizabeth I reigned supreme over England's governance with grace and strength.
