EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A True Description of the Naval Expedition of Francis Drake" a historic moment captured in pen, ink, and wash on vellum. The artwork depicts the remarkable journey undertaken by Sir Francis Drake and his fleet of five ships. Departing from England's western shores on December 13th, 1577, they embarked on a daring circumnavigation of the globe. The image reveals the awe-inspiring events that unfolded during their expedition. Waves of fire destroyed all but one ship, leaving them with just the resilient Golden Hind upon their triumphant return to England on September 26th, 1580. This reduced copy served as an early map marking Drake's route and was originally presented to Queen Elizabeth I before its unfortunate destruction. Within this intricate illustration lies a visual narrative filled with significant moments. It portrays Drake's warm reception in the Moluccas (Spice Islands), where he encountered new cultures and traded valuable goods. Another scene captures the dramatic grounding of Golden Hind on a reef in Celebes, highlighting both challenges faced and overcome during their voyage. Notably featured is St. George's flag proudly flying atop Elizabetha - the southernmost island within Tierra del Fuego archipelago - symbolizing English exploration reaching distant lands. This extraordinary artwork serves as a testament to Sir Francis Drake's pioneering spirit as an explorer and navigator during the Elizabethan era. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its preservation at Yale Center for British Art within Paul Mellon Collection in America.
