EDITORS COMMENTS
Drakes Island, Plymouth, 1773: A Glimpse into the Past". This print transports us back to the picturesque coastal town of Plymouth in 1773. Painted by renowned artist Dominic Serres and now held at the National Maritime Museum in London, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures a moment frozen in time. The scene depicts Drakes Island against a backdrop of cloudy skies and choppy seas. The vibrant colors bring to life the rugged beauty of Devon's coastline, while ships dotting the water transport us to an era when maritime trade thrived. In the foreground, a group of men can be seen observing their surroundings with curiosity and awe. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over centuries. This 18th-century vista showcases sailing vessels as the primary mode of travel and commerce. It serves as a reminder that our modern world stands on the shoulders of those who braved these treacherous waters. Preserved within "A Catalogue of Pictures and Drawings" compiled by C. Reginald Grundy and F. Gordon Roe in 1937, this print offers us a glimpse into both art history and geographical features that have shaped England's landscape for centuries. Let this enchanting image transport you back to an age where exploration was paramount, nature reigned supreme, and Drakes Island stood tall as a symbol of resilience amidst turbulent seas.
