1545 1596 Admiral Francis Globe Larmessin Moustache


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the legendary figure of Sir Francis Drake, an English sea captain, privateer, and admiral of the Royal Navy. Born in 1545 in Crowndale, Devon, England, Drake's life was marked by adventure, exploration, and daring exploits on the high seas. The image, titled "Sir Francis Drake," depicts Drake in his prime, with a thick beard and a prominent mustache, gazing intently at an ancient globe. Drake's piercing eyes seem to convey a sense of determination and focus, as if he is planning his next voyage or strategizing a battle. The globe, a symbol of the world's vastness and the reach of the British Empire, underscores Drake's role as a pioneer in English exploration and colonization. Drake's career began in the 1560s as a privateer, leading raids against Spanish ships and ports in the Caribbean. He gained notoriety for his successful circumnavigation of the world between 1577 and 1580, making him the first Englishman to accomplish this feat. Drake's exploits continued throughout the late 16th century, including his role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. By the time of his death in 1596, Sir Francis Drake had become a legend, celebrated for his bravery, his leadership, and his contributions to English history. This photograph print, with its haunting image of Drake and the globe, serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring legacy as a seafaring hero.
