EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "There is time to finish the game and beat the Spaniards too, said Drake, 1588" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The year is 1588, and Sir Francis Drake, depicted here by artist As Forrest, stands confidently on Plymouth Hoe before the imminent battle with the Spanish Armada. Dressed in traditional Elizabethan attire, complete with a distinguished ruff collar and a well-groomed beard, Drake exudes an air of calmness and relaxation. Despite the gravity of the situation at hand, he finds solace in his favorite pastime - playing bowls. With his fellow sailors looking on intently from afar, it becomes evident that even during times of war and conflict, leisure activities hold their place. This illustration comes from H E Marshall's book "Our Island Story" published in 1905. It is important to note that this historical account may have been biased towards British interests. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder of Britain's resilience against foreign invasions. The serene coastal backdrop emphasizes both England's geographical features and its strong naval presence throughout history. As we gaze upon this image captured by As Forrest over a century ago, we are reminded that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is always time for leisurely pursuits – perhaps even enough time to secure victory against formidable adversaries like the Spaniards.
