Elizabeth Tudor [1533-1603] had quite a life. Here is a picture of her face taken from the frontispiece of the book by J.E. Neale titled Queen Elizabeth. His text states that this painting is from Accademia di Belle Arti, Siena. You can tell it was fairly early in her reign. Her eyes seem to penetrate from the page. I just thought you might like to see her face to face.
As stated last post, she has received much print. The book by J.E. Neale, Harcourt, Brace and Co., Inc., N.J., 1934 is another reference that gives a detailed account of this Queen.
It begins with the Seymour family, and through the next 22 chapters it tells much of her story. [total = 393 pages] It is a great reference for those who want a little more detail without all the references. The book was written for the occasion of the fourth centenary of her birth. A celebration of sorts it is. The author states: "...the public is the body of lay men and women interested in a great historical personality." Are you interested?
