Francis Drake Knighted by Elizabeth, 1882
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment in history. The anonymous artist skillfully depicts the legendary event when Queen Elizabeth I of England bestows knighthood upon the renowned explorer and privateer, Sir Francis Drake. The artwork showcases an elaborate scene set against the backdrop of a grand galleon, symbolizing Drake's famous ship, the Golden Hind. With meticulous attention to detail, the woodcut technique brings life to this historical encounter between two iconic figures. Drake's daring exploits as a pirate-turned-privateer are well-known throughout history. This graphic art piece pays homage to his contributions and celebrates his exceptional achievements on behalf of England during its golden age of exploration. As one gazes at this fine art image from a private collection, it transports us back in time to witness Queen Elizabeth I herself - gloriously known as "Good Queen Bess" or "Virgin Queen". Her regal presence exudes power and authority while honoring Drake for his bravery and service. This remarkable depiction not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into an era marked by corsairs and piracy. It stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance within book design and pictorial histories.
