Queen Elizabeth I and the men of her court appear in Victorian engravings catalogued after Federico Zuccari, the Italian painter and draughtsman who lived from about 1540 to 1609. The prints were published by Tallis in 1849 and 1853 for British readers of history, and alongside the queen are the Tudor and early Stuart political figures Thomas Howard, Philip Howard, Edward Somerset and Sir Nicholas Bacon. The attribution links the portraits to Zuccari's name, but the prints themselves belong to the Victorian history-book tradition.
