[Francis Drake] Franciscus Drake Miles Auratus [...]
[Crispijn de Passe, 1620.]
Engraving, sheet 165 x 115mm (6½ x 4½"). Trimmed; laid on album sheet.
Sir Francis Drake (1540-1596) the most famous of all English seafarers, his hand on a globe. Drake earned his fame and fortune through his skilful seamanship and outstandindingly successful piracy. His circumnavigation of the globe from 1577-81 involved a number of very profitable raids on Spanish ships and ports. His increasingly frequent and serious attacks during the 1580s were an important factor contributing to Philip II's decision to launch the Armada against English in 1588. Drake served as vice-admiral of the English fleet which defeated the Armada. By Dutch engraver, draughtsman and painter Crispijn de Passe the Elder (c.1565-1637) who produced portraits of European nobility, as well as religious, mythological and allegorical prints and books.
