EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, offering a vivid portrait of Sir Francis Drake, the renowned English sea-captain. At the age of 43, he stands before us wearing a peascod doublet, a fashionable garment characterized by its distinctive ridge down the front. Over time, this point gradually descended lower and lower. The colorized print brings life to every detail captured within it. From his majestic helmet and well-groomed beard to his navy coat adorned with heraldry and symbols of piracy, Drake's presence exudes power and authority. His ruff collar adds an elegant touch while emphasizing his status as a man of influence. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the globe resting beside him—a symbol of exploration and adventure that defined Drake's career. This snapshot from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown provides us with valuable insight into Elizabethan fashion trends prevalent in England during that era. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully colorized this historical photograph, allowing us to truly appreciate the vibrant attire worn by men like Sir Francis Drake. Through her artistry, she transports us back in time—immersing ourselves in an era filled with naval warfare and daring exploits on the high seas. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Sir Francis Drake's legacy—an emblematic figure who played a significant role in shaping British history through his maritime achievements.
