EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Statue of Francis Drake, standing proudly on Plymouth Hoe in Devon during the late 19th to early 20th century. Created by an unknown artist, this sculpture was crafted by Joseph Boehm and erected in 1883 as a tribute to Sir Francis Drake, the renowned English adventurer and pirate. Sir Francis Drake, born in the 16th century, became a symbol of heroism and bravery for his country. This monochrome image showcases his statue against a picturesque landscape backdrop, highlighting its architectural beauty. The glass plate negative used for this print adds depth and texture to the artwork. Drake's legacy as both a corsair and national hero is depicted through this powerful sculpture. His daring exploits at sea earned him fame but also associated him with piracy according to some accounts. Nevertheless, he remains an iconic figure in English history. The photograph not only captures the essence of Sir Francis Drake but also pays homage to Joseph Edgar Boehm's artistic talent. The attention to detail in sculpting every aspect of Drake's appearance reflects Boehm's skillful craftsmanship. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate both artistry and heritage simultaneously. It serves as a reminder of our rich past while inspiring admiration for those who have left an indelible mark on our world.
