Created by an anonymous 19th-century English School artist, this print captures the essence of Drake's character and achievements. Sir Francis Drake (1540/43-1596) was not only an esteemed English admiral but also a privateer, explorer, navigator, and circumnavigator of the globe. His daring voyages during the Elizabethan era solidified his place in history as one of England's most celebrated heroes. The portrait depicts Drake with a distinguished beard that adds to his air of authority and wisdom. The artist skillfully portrays him wearing traditional Elizabethan attire, emphasizing his status as a man of influence. This particular print is part of Lodge's British Portraits collection from 1823. It is housed in a private collection and has been preserved for generations to appreciate its historical significance.
