EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Martin Frobisher, a renowned 16th-century English navigator. Created by the talented artist Whymper in approximately 1880, this portrait captures the essence of Frobisher's adventurous spirit and significant contributions to exploration. Frobisher, born around 1535 and passing away in 1594, embarked on three daring voyages to the New World with one goal in mind: discovering the elusive Northwest Passage. As an esteemed commander in the British navy, his determination led him to navigate uncharted territories during a time of great exploration. In this engraving from Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, Volume I, we witness Frobisher's striking appearance. His distinguished beard and traditional Elizabethan attire reflect both his status as an explorer and his allegiance to England. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrayal while emphasizing Frobisher's role as a key figure in naval warfare. The print offers viewers a glimpse into sixteenth-century fashion and serves as a reminder of Britain's rich maritime history. Whymper skillfully captures Frobisher's commanding presence through intricate details such as his collar and dress. This image is not only an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a testament to Sir Martin Frobisher's enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated navigators.
