It suggests that the Queen did not pose for him. Instead he probably copied a drawing or print by another artist supplied to him by Compton Holland (active 1616, died 1622), the publisher of the print.<br><br><b>Materials & Making</b><br>To make this engraving,  Simon de Passe  would have used sharp pointed tools, called burins, to gouge the lines making up the picture, into a flat sheet of copper. The design would be in reverse. The engraver or another person called a printer would then have worked ink into these cut lines. The ink would then be  transferred onto a sheet of paper by bringing the copper plate and the paper into contact under pressure. Many identical examples of this engraving could have been produced by repeating this process. <br><br><b>People</b><br>The engraver of this print, Simon de Passe, was from The Netherlands. As a young man he spent part of his working life in London. He was the son of another Netherlandish engraver, Crispijn de Passe the Elder (1564-1637). Crispijn de Passe the Elder worked in The Netherlands and Germany but had a number of business contacts in London, including Compton Holland, the publisher of  this print.","physicalDescription":"Engraving","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Passe, Simon de","id":"A8722"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Holland, Compton","id":"A9562"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[{"text":"engraving","id":"AAT53225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Engraving, ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"},{"text":"Royalty","id":"THES48899"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AM6150"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"56E","id":"THES49241"},"free":"","case":"CA6","shelf":"","box":"10"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1616","earliest":"1616-01-01","latest":"1616-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Edgar Seligman","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"22.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"14.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 01/06/2000 by nh","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Lettered 'Simon Passaeus fig: et sculp: Londini.
