EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the legendary Sir Francis Drake in a moment of leisure, playing bowls. Published around 1900 as part of the children's book "Peeps into the Past" this image showcases the iconic English admiral and adventurer known for his circumnavigation of the globe. Drake, dressed in an elaborate doublet and hose, exudes confidence and charisma as he engages in this popular game before his historic encounter with the Spanish Armada. The portrait provides a glimpse into Drake's life during Elizabethan times, highlighting his role as a naval commander and explorer. The color lithography technique used to create this print adds depth and richness to every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance of Drake's achievements and his playful nature. This image transports us back to the 18th century when Drake made waves across oceans with his daring expeditions. As we admire this piece from The Stapleton Collection, it is impossible not to feel inspired by Sir Francis Drake's audacity and determination. His legacy continues to resonate today as a symbol of courage and exploration. Whether you are familiar with his remarkable exploits or discovering him for the first time through this artwork, let it serve as a reminder that even great adventurers find joy in simple games like bowls.
