Sir Francis Drake

DESCRIPTION: This image is a reproduction of a portrait engraving of Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540–1596), a renowned English sea captain, privateer, and explorer during the Elizabethan era. The portrait was engraved by W. Holl, based on a painting then in the possession of a descendant, T.T.E. Drake. This specific print was published by William Mackenzie in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, and New York, likely during the mid-to-late 19th century. Drake remains famous for being the second person to circumnavigate the globe in a single expedition and for his role as vice admiral in the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
