This print showcases the legendary figure of Sir Francis Drake, a prominent seaman during the Elizabethan Age. Created by artist William Holl in the 19th century, this portrait captures Drake's commanding presence and iconic bearded appearance. Drake's remarkable achievements are highlighted in this image. Known for his audacious exploits at sea, he successfully completed a circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580. His daring nature is further exemplified by his leadership in the attack on the Spanish fleet in Cadiz Harbour, famously referred to as "the singeing of the King of Spain's beard". Additionally, Drake played a pivotal role in defeating the formidable Spanish Armada in 1588.
