EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a dramatic moment in history when the Earl of Essex, a favorite general of Queen Elizabeth I, threatens to draw his sword after being cuffed around the ear by the formidable queen herself. The year is 1598, and tensions are running high as England is embroiled in the Nine Years' War. The image showcases the intense anger and confrontation between these two powerful figures. The Earl of Essex, dressed in elaborate historical costume, stands defiantly with his hand on his sword hilt while glaring at Queen Elizabeth I. Her regal presence is evident as she asserts her authority over her insolent subject. The artist, Diogene Ulysse Napoleon Maillart, skillfully depicts this historic event for Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held's book "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk". Through digital cleaning techniques, this print has been preserved to showcase its intricate details. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into an important moment in British history but also highlights the complex emotions and power dynamics at play during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. It serves as a reminder of how even those closest to power were not exempt from consequences if they dared to challenge or disrespect their monarch.
