EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Sir Francis Drake" by John Cochran, an engraving that immortalizes the legendary English navigator and privateer. Sir Francis Drake, born in 1545 and passing away in 1596, holds a prominent place in history as the first Englishman to lay eyes on the vast Pacific Ocean back in 1572. The portrait captures Drake's resolute gaze and commanding presence, reflecting his indomitable spirit as he sailed through uncharted waters during the Elizabethan era (1558-1603). As one of England's most celebrated explorers, he played a pivotal role in expanding British influence across America and beyond. Drake's audacious exploits as a privateer earned him both admiration and notoriety. This engraving serves as a testament to his daring nature and unwavering determination. It transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of sixteenth-century England when exploration was at its zenith. Through this image, we are reminded of Drake's significant contributions to maritime history while also acknowledging his complex legacy. The print invites us to delve into an era marked by adventure, discovery, and conquest—a time when men like Sir Francis Drake shaped the course of nations with their courage and ambition.
