In the image Nelson Mandelas facial expression in particular i feel highlights a sense of pride he has towards his country , Which reminds me slightly of Queen Elizabeth and how she was married to England. Analyising the image of Nelson Mandela it is noticeable the man is very wise which is also another reason as to why i consider him as a new Elizabethan.

Nelson Mandela i believe can be considered as a new Elizabethan due to the impact he has had on working towards his country. The former president of South Africa was to work towards freedom, in order to get his opinion across about freedom Nelson mandela even faced prison , when released from prision he carried on to pursue fighting for his country . Nelson mandela became the first ever black president in 1994 untill 1999 which was obvious to make an impact. Before he became president however in 1993 he recieved recoginition of his work towards his country winning a nobel peacemaking prize.

In 2013, Nelson Mandela died aged 95, hours after his death, thousands of citizens in south Africa rushed to his home in order to pay tribute. This therefore highlights that Nelson Mandela was a respected man . After his death, Nelson Mandela is still considered a major inspiration towards civil rights.
