EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Sir Francis Drake sends out his friend to die - the farewell to Sir Thomas Doughty" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of heroism and sacrifice. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, captures the emotional farewell between two comrades. Sir Francis Drake, a renowned figure in British history, stands tall and resolute as he bids adieu to his dear friend Sir Thomas Doughty. The intensity of their friendship is palpable as they exchange one last embrace before parting ways on a treacherous journey. It is said that Drake sent Doughty on a mission that would ultimately lead to his demise. The composition exudes both admiration for these courageous men and sorrow for the inevitable tragedy that awaits them. Through intricate details and skillful engraving techniques, the artist masterfully conveys the weight of their bond and the gravity of their undertaking. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Arthur Mees' Hero Book in 1921, showcasing its significance within popular culture at that time. Today, it serves as a timeless reminder of bravery and loyalty amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we cannot help but be moved by the profound sacrifices made by heroes like Sir Francis Drake and Sir Thomas Doughty – individuals who were willing to risk everything for honor and duty.
