Visiting the Folger

Elizabeth I, Then and Now
March 21 through August 2, 2003

Georgianna Ziegler, Curator

With her red hair, white face, and ruff, Elizabeth I is almost as familiar a figure as William Shakespeare, her contemporary. She ruled England for forty-four years-from 1558 to 1603-and this year we honor the 400th anniversary of the end of her reign with an exhibition of more than 100 rare items drawn from the Folger Library, the largest repository of materials by and about Elizabeth in the United States.
