THE KING JAMES\' GREAT \"SHE\' BIBLE, THE SECOND FOLIO EDITION, with the reading in Ruth 3:15 corrected to \"She went into the citie,\" and with other errors including Matthew 26:36 where Judas appears for Jesus, but in this copy that error has been a corrected in an 18th century manuscript hand.

The King James Great Bible is considered to be the most important English Bible to have been printed. The biblical scholar Francis Fry described the \"SHE\" Bible as the first edition second issue without reprints, printed within two years of the first issue to correct typographical errors that were found in the text. The King James Bible was drawn up to reconcile the versions of the bible used by the Clergy, on the one hand, and the laity on the other. The translators, who numbered around 50, were divided into committees based in Oxford. Cambridge and London, and they were instructed to take the Bishops Bible as their basis and then consult with Tyndale\'s, Coverdale\'s, Matthew\'s, Whitchurch\'s and the Geneva versions to come up with an authorized text. This copy, although with facsimile first and last leaves, and two quires lacking, is substantially complete. \"From about the middle of the seventeenth century until the appearance of the Revised Bible of 1881-5, the King James\' version reigned without rival\"(Herbert 319). cf. PMM 114; STC 2224.

For the realisation of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, a photograph taken on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee, the 25th anniversary of her reign, was used as a reference. The sitter\'s pose remains unaltered, retaining the structure and grandeur that are typical of classical portraiture. Warhol adds the commercial medium, emphasising it. His are classical depictions that praise the importance and solemnity of the subject depicted.

The same image of the queen appears in each of her four prints but they vary in colour. This one in particular has a primarily red background, and features graphic shapes printed from separate screens. Warhol began working in this style in the mid-1970s, fragmenting the image with various overlayed shapes and patches of colour.

The association of commercial medium and traditional portraiture is key, allowing Warhol to create a product that would subsequently be hailed as a work of art. Seriality, consumerism, the concept of fame and social hierarchy emanate from the superimposition of colour fields that enhance the subject\'s femininity. The pronounced make-up and bright colours denote the Pop character of mass culture, emphasising appearance and conveying a certain frivolity - unlike traditional portraits, where character and gravitas prevailed over aesthetics. Despite beginning with an impersonal approach and a mechanical reproduction of the subject, these interventions in the image gave the work a deliberately ‘artistic’ look. In many of his female portraits, such as here, the multicoloured surfaces and suggestion of make-up enhance the glamour and femininity of the subjects. With characteristic ambivalence, Warhol explained his additions to these later prints as immaterial:

‘I really would still rather do just a silkscreen of the face without all the rest, but people expect just a little bit more. That’s why I put in all the drawing.’ (Barry Blinderman, ‘Modern Myths: An Interview with Andy Warhol’, Arts, October 1981, p.145.)

The work is also published as a Royal Edition with diamond dust on the drawing lines, published in an edition of thirty with five artist’s proofs, two printer’s proofs and two hors commerce.
