EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Martin Frobisher, a renowned English explorer and navigator from the 16th century. In 1576, Frobisher fearlessly led an expedition in search of the elusive Northwest Passage, a legendary route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. His determination to uncover this fabled passage was fueled by his unwavering spirit of adventure and curiosity. The engraving, skillfully crafted by Michiel van der Gucht in the early 18th century for Clarendon's History, beautifully captures Frobisher's likeness and essence. The intricate details bring to life his Tudor-era attire and noble countenance as he embarks on this perilous journey. Frobisher's exploration not only left an indelible mark on British history but also paved the way for future expeditions that would eventually unravel the mysteries of these uncharted waters. His courage and pioneering spirit continue to inspire generations of explorers even today. This remarkable print is a testament to Frobisher's significant contributions as an explorer during a time when venturing into unknown territories was both treacherous and awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world.
