Translation of 'The Mirror or Glass of the Sinful Soul' |

Description |
Punning royal needlework. English, 1544. At the age of eleven, Princess Elizabeth translated and wrote out The Mirror or Glass of the Sinful Soul from a French meditational poem. She dedicated it to her stepmother, Queen Katherine Parr, as a New Year gift for 1 January 1545, hoping to secure her position in the royal family. The binding, surely also Elizabeth's own handiwork, is integral to the gift. On the blue textile background, a knot-work pattern of gold and silver braid encloses Katherine's initials, in a form which echoes her own signature. Stitched over padding in the corners are pansies (pensées), a favourite flower of the future queen.; Binding. English, 1544. Needlework by Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I).; Edition: Translated and written out by Queen Elizabeth.. |
