Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh, 1850. A satirical illustration of Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh. Walter Raleigh (1554-1618) performs an act of gallantry; he puts his cloak over a muddy puddle so that Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) can avoid muddying her shoes.From The Comic History of England by Gilbert Abbott A. Beckett, illustrated by John Leech [Bradbury, Agnew & Co., London, 1850.]
