EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color litho print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of leisure and camaraderie between two legendary figures of British history. Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins, both renowned naval commanders during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, engage in a friendly game of bowls. The scene is set against the backdrop of Portsmouth, with its bustling harbor and majestic ships dotting the horizon. The sea breeze gently caresses their faces as they concentrate on their next move, displaying not only their strategic prowess on the battlefield but also their skillful finesse on the bowling green. Drake, known for his daring exploits against the Spanish Armada, exudes confidence as he lines up his shot. Meanwhile, Hawkins stands beside him with an air of determination that reflects his reputation as one of England's most formidable seafarers. This illustration was originally created by John Hassall for "Good Queen Bess" a publication that celebrated the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It captures a rare glimpse into these historical figures' personal lives outside their military endeavors – reminding us that even great leaders need moments to unwind and enjoy simple pleasures like playing bowls. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of these iconic individuals but also how art can transport us through time to experience moments long gone by.
