EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sailors playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe under the watchful eye of Sir Francis Drake" we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases a group of sailors engaged in a friendly game of bowls, set against the stunning backdrop of Plymouth Hoe. Standing tall and proud amidst them is none other than the legendary explorer himself, Sir Francis Drake. Drake's unwavering determination and strategic brilliance are well-known, but it was his commitment to leisure that truly sets him apart. Legend has it that before embarking on his historic victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, Drake insisted on finishing his game of bowls at this very spot. This iconic snapshot captures not only the camaraderie among these brave sailors but also serves as a testament to Drake's indomitable spirit. The uniforms worn by these seafarers reflect their affiliation with the navy, symbolizing their dedication and loyalty to their country. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for those who have come before us. This photograph also highlights some prominent landmarks and monuments within Plymouth cityscape; however, our attention is inevitably drawn towards Sir Francis Drake's statue overseeing the proceedings with an air of authority and wisdom.
