EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous colour lithograph that transports us back to the 20th century. This delightful print, created by an English School artist, captures the essence of a historical moment with a playful twist. In this scene, we find ourselves in Plymouth, where Sir Francis Drake is engrossed in his parlour game while the Spanish Armada anxiously awaits its fate. The juxtaposition between the intense battle about to unfold and Drake's carefree demeanor adds a touch of whimsy to this artwork. The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable; every element has been meticulously crafted. From Drake's focused expression as he moves his playing piece on the board to the vibrant colors that bring life to the scene, it is evident that great skill went into creating this masterpiece. This image not only showcases Drake's legendary wit but also serves as a reminder of how games can provide solace and distraction even in times of great importance. It invites viewers to ponder upon what strategies or tactics might be running through Drake's mind as he indulges himself before facing one of history's most significant naval battles. "The Armada must wait until I have finished my game" stands as both an artistic triumph and a testament to human nature – our ability to find joy even amidst impending challenges.
