EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness a momentous event in history as Queen Elizabeth I performs the ceremonial assaying of the stag. The year is 1576, and the queen, known for her strong will and regal presence, gracefully dismounts from her horse onto the hunting field. Dressed in an exquisite Tudor gown that exudes power and elegance, she commands attention from all those present. With poise and authority, Elizabeth accepts a knife handed to her by a huntsman. This symbolic gesture represents her role as both monarch and huntress. As she prepares to assay the majestic stag before her, surrounded by men who partake in this blood sport tradition, she defies gender norms of the time. The woodcut style adds depth to this historical scene captured by George Turbevile. It transports us back to the 16th century when hunting was not only a sport but also an integral part of royal life. The image showcases not only Elizabeth's love for outdoor pursuits but also highlights her strength as a female ruler. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Queen Elizabeth I's reign - one characterized by power, tradition, and defiance against societal expectations. It reminds us of her unwavering determination to rule with grace while challenging conventions along the way.
