EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "World map; Vera Totius Expeditionis Nauticae" which meticulously charts the extraordinary circumnavigation of the globe by two legendary explorers. On the left, we have Sir Francis Drake (1540-96), a renowned figure in history whose audacious voyages shaped our understanding of the world. Accompanying him on this epic journey is Thomas Cavendish (1560-92), depicted on the right side of this engraving. Created around 1595 by Jodocus Hondius (1567-1611), this masterful piece captures not only their daring expedition but also pays homage to their Elizabethan era. The iconic Golden Hind ship, symbolic of Drake's historic voyage, takes center stage as it sails across uncharted waters towards new horizons. Intricate details such as putti and coats of arms adorn this artwork, adding an air of grandeur and nobility to these brave naval explorations. This historical artifact serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and knowledge during that time. Preserved within a private collection today, this black-and-white photograph allows us to appreciate Hondius' craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in an age when intrepid adventurers pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of the world beyond imagination. Let us marvel at their courage and determination as we explore this image from www. bridgemanimages. com
