EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Elizabeth knighted the greatest of her immortal seamen" showcases a momentous event in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this print captures Queen Elizabeth I bestowing knighthood upon one of her most esteemed subjects. The scene is filled with grandeur and significance. Intriguingly, this artwork was originally featured as an illustration for Chatterbox Annual in 1911. It beautifully depicts the legendary Sir Francis Drake being honored by Queen Elizabeth I herself. Known for his daring voyages and naval prowess, Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, played a crucial role in England's maritime achievements during that era. The engraving exudes a sense of pride and admiration as it immortalizes these historical figures who shaped England's destiny on the high seas. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke seems to convey their noble qualities and unwavering determination. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit that defined both Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Francis Drake. Their legacy continues to inspire generations even today. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where exploration and conquest were intertwined with honor and glory.
