A Very Fine Portrait of Sir Francis Drake.

Published by George Virtue, [circa 1730], Copper Engraving [395 x 307mm].

A very fine contemporary portrait of Sir Francis Drake celebrating his Circumnavigation of the World. The portrait is the work of Jodocus Hondius, known for his fine maps, and was engraved during his residency in London in 1538.

This is a highly decorative portrait of Drake in a powerful pose, displaying a terrestrial globe set in a maritime scene, heraldic arms and Drake’s hand on the head-piece of a suit of armour.
