The Drake Commemoration at Tavistock, Devonshire, UK, 1883 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant event in British history - The Drake Commemoration at Tavistock in 1883. The image showcases four remarkable scenes that capture the essence of this grand celebration. In the first scene, we witness the Portreeve of Tavistock unveiling the majestic statue of Sir Francis Drake. This momentous occasion pays tribute to one of England's greatest naval heroes and explorers. The second scene transports us to Tavistock Abbey, an architectural marvel steeped in centuries-old history. Its towering presence adds a sense of grandeur to this commemorative event. Next, our eyes are drawn towards Vigo Bridge gracefully spanning over the tranquil River Tavy. This picturesque setting serves as a reminder of Devonshire's natural beauty and its connection with Sir Francis Drake's voyages across distant seas. Lastly, we catch a glimpse of Buckland Abbey - the ancestral seat of the illustrious Drake family. Here lies preserved treasures such as the Shipa'Drum, Banner, and Bible that accompanied Sir Francis on his legendary circumnavigation around the world. Through this enchanting 19th-century engraving meticulously captured by an unknown artist using illustrative techniques typical for that era; we are transported back in time to witness not only historical landmarks but also experience Victorian arts and culture firsthand.
