Thomas Cavendish is a 1598 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a ruff collar and a dark jacket. Around him float two round maps of the world, one showing Europe and Africa, the other Asia and the Americas. The edges of the image have fancy scrollwork and the words "Thomas Cavendish" written along the top. The maps suggest this man was a sailor or explorer. The text below is in Latin, likely praising his travels. Next, look up engraving to see how this kind of detailed print was made.
