EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustration of "Drakes Drum" from Henry Newbolt's renowned collection, "Drakes Drum and Other Songs of the Sea". Created by Arthur David McCormick in 1905, this vibrant color lithograph captures the essence of Sir Francis Drake's legendary drum. The image portrays a powerful scene as it depicts a captain and his crew on deck, surrounded by an air of anticipation. The poem inscribed beneath reads: "Take my drum to England, hang it by the shore. Strike it when your powders running low". This line alludes to the belief that this very drum was brought back to Buckland Abbey after Drake's death off Panama. According to legend, its resounding beat can be heard in times of national crisis. Sir Francis Drake himself is a prominent figure in Elizabethan history and maritime lore. This artwork beautifully encapsulates his legacy as a fearless explorer and naval commander. The attention to detail in both the illustration and coloring brings life to this historical moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back in time, feeling the weight of history resting upon us. It serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience during challenging times and evokes a sense of pride for our seafaring heritage.
