EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, where we witness Sir Francis Drake's remarkable circumnavigation of the globe. The map, expertly engraved by Frans Hogenburg, showcases the audacious journey undertaken by this legendary English explorer. As our eyes wander across the intricate details of this coloured engraving, we are reminded of the immense courage and determination it took for Drake to navigate uncharted waters and conquer unknown territories. The map not only serves as a testament to his extraordinary voyage but also highlights the advancements in cartography during that era. The continents depicted on this historic chart come alive with vibrant colors, inviting us to imagine what it must have been like for Drake as he sailed through these vast oceans. Latitude and longitude lines crisscross each other, guiding him on his daring expedition while simultaneously reminding us of mankind's insatiable thirst for exploration. Inscribed within this masterpiece is a profound quotation by Cicero: "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need". These words resonate deeply as they remind us that knowledge and adventure go hand in hand - just like Drake's courageous pursuit of discovering new lands. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within its frame. It stands as a timeless tribute to one man's indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to uncovering the mysteries of our world.
