EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sir Walter Raleigh, a renowned adventurer and writer of the 16th century. The image, dating back to 1888, showcases Raleigh's distinctive fashion sense with his elaborate clothing dress and neck ruff, reflecting the style of the Elizabethan era. As a British navigator and corsair, Sir Walter Raleigh played a significant role in shaping Britain's history during this period. His occupation as an explorer led him on daring adventures across uncharted territories, making him one of the most celebrated adventurers of his time. The portrait exudes an air of mystery surrounding this iconic figure. With his hat tilted slightly to one side and a sash draped over his shoulder, it hints at both his profession as well as his involvement in piracy - a crime that often accompanied seafaring men during those times. Despite being known for his adventurous spirit and exploration endeavors, Sir Walter Raleigh was also recognized for his literary contributions. As an accomplished author, he penned several notable works that showcased not only his experiences but also provided valuable insights into the world around him. Preserved through time by The Graphic newspaper volume from July to December 1888, this print offers us a glimpse into the life and legacy of Sir Walter Raleigh – an influential individual who left an indelible mark on both British history and literature.
