EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Francis Drake, the valiant English navigator and fearless knight, stands tall on board his flagship, the Revenge. This print captures a pivotal moment in history when Drake led his fleet against the mighty Spanish Armada. In this vivid illustration from Lives of Great Men Told by Great Men, edited by Richard Wilson in the 1920s, we witness Drake's triumph as he receives swords from captured Spanish officers. The deck is bustling with activity as his loyal crew of sailors stand alongside him, their faces filled with pride and determination. Drake's legacy as an explorer who circumnavigated the globe is evident in every line etched on his weathered face. His strategic brilliance and unwavering courage propelled him to victory against one of history's most formidable naval forces. The image transports us back to that fateful battle where navy met navy, army clashed with troops - a clash between two great powers vying for dominance over the seas. It serves as a reminder of England's indomitable spirit and its ability to defend itself against all odds. This remarkable print not only celebrates Sir Francis Drake but also pays tribute to all those who served under him.
