'Golden Age' is a narrative etching which depicts some of the key events and figures of the English renaissance period. Here is a full synopsis: In the top left Mary Queen of Scots flees Scotland following her downfall in 1567. Top right of the image is London, now a prosperous city, dominated by The Tower. To the left is the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet, watched ominously by a large crow. Central left of the image, a childless Queen Mary Tudor sits on a throne and screams in torment at a group of madrigal singing children. Central to the image is the axe-wielding executioner, an ever-present threat of the times. Below him William Caxton is busy on his printing press, and thereby introducing the printed word into English culture. The central-right section of the image is dominated by Henry VIII, here depicted as a great bear. To his right is his father, Henry VII, an often neglected monarch sitting in his Star Chamber. Accompanying Henry VIII are his 6 wives. Hamlet gives his Alas poor Yorick speech. Dominating the lower left of the image and facing the threat of the Spanish Armada, is good Queen Bess fully attired in battle dress. Accompanying the Queen are the three lions of England. En route to support the monarch is Lord Chancellor Burghley on his mule. On the far left, a troop of wandering minstrels bring music, song and levity to the proceedings. In the foreground a jester kicks up his heels and a bemused boar stares out at the viewer.
