EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around the turn of the twentieth century, showcases the iconic Statue of Sir Francis Drake standing proudly in the heart of Plymouth, Devon. The statue, which was unveiled in 1887, is a fitting tribute to the legendary English seafarer and explorer, who played a significant role in the golden age of Elizabethan adventure. Sir Francis Drake, dressed in Elizabethan attire, is depicted with a determined expression, gazing out to sea, as if ready to embark on another daring voyage. He holds a sword in one hand and a globe in the other, symbolizing his mastery over both land and sea. The intricately designed plinth, adorned with various emblems and inscriptions, adds to the heroic and grandeur of the statue. The steps leading up to the statue invite visitors to come closer and pay their respects to this national hero. The statue, which has stood the test of time, has become a beloved landmark in Plymouth, drawing tourists from all corners of the world. The image of Sir Francis Drake, with the backdrop of the Devon coastline and the clear blue sky, is a testament to the rich maritime history of England and the enduring legacy of its most famous explorers.
