This artwork was originally commissioned for The World of Adventure, A Collection of Stirring Scenes and Moving Accidents published by Cassell in 1890. It beautifully captures the adventurous spirit and historical significance associated with Drake's meeting with royalty. In this image, we witness Drake's encounter with King Philip II during his expedition to the Moluccas, now known as Indonesia. The meeting between these two influential figures showcases not only their power but also highlights the exploration and colonization efforts that took place during that era. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident how it encapsulates both Asian and European cultures coming together through trade and diplomacy. This fusion is represented by Filipino locals observing from afar while Asians are depicted alongside Europeans within the entourage accompanying Drake. Overall, this engraving serves as a visual testament to Sir Francis Drake's remarkable journey and his pivotal role in shaping history through adventure-filled encounters like this one.
