EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Drake is Told That The Armada Is Approaching" we are transported back to the 16th century in England. Sir Francis Drake, a legendary figure in British history, stands among a group of men dressed in traditional Elizabethan attire. The atmosphere is tense as news reaches them that the Spanish Armada is nearing their shores. The monochrome image beautifully captures the intensity of the moment. Drake's portrait reveals a man who remains composed despite the gravity of the situation. His relaxed posture belies his reputation as a fearless naval commander and symbolizes his unwavering determination to defend his country. Surrounded by fellow countrymen engaged in a game of bowls, this scene showcases not only an important historical event but also highlights leisure activities during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst impending war, life continues with its games and pleasures. This vintage illustration from "My Book of True Stories" published by Blackie and Son Limited transports us into an unknown location where literature meets artistry. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be drawn into the rich tapestry of British history and imagine ourselves standing alongside Sir Francis Drake at this pivotal moment in time.
