EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Walter Raleigh, a prominent figure from the 16th century. Created by Simon de Passe, an accomplished artist of his time, this engraving captures the essence of Raleigh's character and accomplishments. Sir Walter Raleigh was not just a man of many talents; he was an explorer, poet, politician, statesman, and even a spy. His direct gaze towards the camera reflects his confidence and determination in pursuing his ambitions. During the Elizabethan era in Britain, Raleigh played a significant role in shaping politics and literature. He was known for his noble demeanor as well as his military prowess as a soldier. This image portrays him dressed in regal attire befitting his status. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless quality of this print while emphasizing its historical significance. It is evident that Arthur Hayden recognized its value when including it in "Chats on Old Prints" which speaks volumes about its importance within art history. As we admire this remarkable portrait today, we are reminded of Sir Walter Raleigh's contributions to society during both turbulent times and moments of peace. His legacy continues to inspire generations with tales of adventure and intellect intertwined with political intrigue—a true testament to the enduring power of human spirit throughout centuries past.
