EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Sir William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, dating back to around 1850. Known for his influential role as an English politician and chief advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, Cecil's portrait exudes power and authority. The image is taken from the book "Old Englands Worthies" published in London during the mid-19th century. In this engraving, Cecil stands tall donning a distinguished robe with a ruff collar that was characteristic of the Elizabethan era. His bearded face portrays wisdom and experience while his headgear signifies his high status. The chain of office adorning his attire further emphasizes his position as a statesman. Cecil's portrayal in this print serves as a metaphor for being the power behind the throne during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. As her trusted advisor, he played a pivotal role in shaping England's political landscape at that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical depiction, allowing us to glimpse into Tudor-era England through one of its most influential figures. This print not only showcases Sir William Cecil's appearance but also provides insight into his occupation and profession as well as capturing an important moment in British history.
