EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Domingo, from Drakes West Indian Voyage 1585 - 86" takes us back in time to the remarkable adventures of Sir Francis Drake. Published in 1589 by Baptista Boazio, this print offers a glimpse into Drake's expedition to the West Indies. The image showcases a fleet of British ships sailing towards Santo Domingo, now known as the Dominican Republic. The meticulously detailed map captures the essence of exploration and discovery during this era. As we study the engraving closely, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air on board these vessels. One cannot help but be drawn to the flying fish gracefully leaping out of crystal-clear waters surrounding San Domingo. These small creatures symbolize freedom and agility amidst vast oceans—a testament to nature's wonders encountered during Drake's voyage. This print is part of The Stapleton Collection and serves as a historical treasure that sheds light on England's maritime history. It reminds us of Drake's audacious spirit and his significant contributions as an explorer. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this engraving allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It transports us back centuries ago when brave sailors embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted territories—an everlasting testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge beyond horizons.
