Elizabeth I embroidery

Original - Cover of a manuscript book known to have been translated and copied, and believed to have been also embroidered, by Elizabeth I of England as an 11-year-old child for her stepmother Queen Catherine Parr, 1544.

Reason: The image description and related article provide a good background on the historical significance. Comes from the same source as current FP Image:Felbrigge.jpg and likely to be the only other FPC nomination for an embroidered book (unless non-English sources of comparable quality and importance come to light). A fine image of surviving Tudor needlework with exceptional provenance.

Oppose. Image:Felbrigge.jpg was kind of interesting and attractive, a good example of its kind. As another example of its kind this one's just, well, pretty bland. No 'wow' if you get what I mean. --jjron (talk) 01:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – image colors seem te be distorted, there are traces of red and green where they shouldn't be. – Ilse @ 16:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
