Beautiful engraving of Queen Elizabeth I being carried by four bearers and a host of dignitaries through the streets of Berwick upon Tweed. Dudley, Earl of Leicester, is closest to her. A text below the print in English and Latin, lists the people present, and gives details of the limning of the painting in preparation for the engraving of the plate.
Fine condition. Good wide margins.
