EDITORS COMMENTS
This double portrait captures the essence of two legendary figures from the Elizabethan era, Sir Francis Drake and Sir Martin Frobisher. Painted with meticulous detail in 1825 by Sarah Countess of Essex, this print showcases their remarkable contributions to history. Sir Francis Drake, renowned for his daring circumnavigation of the globe, stands tall with an air of confidence and authority. His piercing gaze reflects a man who fearlessly conquered uncharted territories and secured England's naval dominance. The distinguished admiral dons a magnificent moustache and beard that add to his aura of strength. Beside him stands Sir Martin Frobisher, another intrepid explorer who sought new horizons during this golden age of discovery. With his military attire and resolute expression, Frobisher exudes determination and courage. Notably depicted is his association with potatoes - a symbol of the explorers' introduction of new foods to Europe. The painting also highlights other elements that defined these extraordinary men: tobacco pipes representing their adventurous spirit; elaborate ruffs signifying their status as esteemed members of Queen Elizabeth's court; collars denoting their loyalty to crown and country. Through this striking portrayal, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and audacity exhibited by these influential mariners. Their exploits forever shaped history while inspiring future generations to explore beyond known boundaries.
