EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 16th century, a time of exploration and adventure. The scene depicts Queen Elizabeth I bestowing knighthood upon Sir Francis Drake on board his legendary ship, the Golden Hind. It was April 4th, 1581 when this historic event took place at Deptford in England. The image captures the grandeur of the moment as Queen Elizabeth stands tall in her regal attire, dressed in an elaborate ruff collar that symbolizes her power and authority. With grace and dignity, she kneels before Drake who is portrayed as a brave sailor with a sword by his side. This act of knighting signifies recognition for his remarkable achievement - completing a round-the-world voyage. Surrounded by sailors and rigging, the Golden Hind serves as both witness and backdrop to this significant occasion. The ship itself represents not only Drake's triumph but also England's naval prowess during an era marked by piracy and naval warfare. The artist F Fraenkel skillfully captures every detail of this historical moment with monochrome precision. Through their work, we can almost feel the weight of history unfolding before our eyes. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Queen Elizabeth I's reign as well as Sir Francis Drake's contribution to British maritime history. It immortalizes their names alongside that of Sir John Gilbert – all key figures who shaped Britain's destiny during this golden age of exploration and conquest.
