This portrait, said to follow the three-quarters likeness in Vaughan’s print (of which there is a copy in the Lenox Library), is a fac-simile of a cut in the title of _Sir Francis Drake revived_, issued in London in 1626, by his nephew, Sir Francis Drake, Baronet; cf. _Carter-Brown Catalogue_, ii. 133. Another likeness of a little later date will be observed in the fac-simile of the Virginia Farrar map, given in connection with Professor Keen’s paper on “Plowden’s Grant,” in the present volume. There are other portraits on the title of De Bry, parts viii. (1599) and xi. (1619), and in Hulsius, part vi. (1603), and on the folding map in part xvi. (1619); cf. also _Le Voyage Curieux_, Paris, 1641. Some new light has been thrown upon Drake by a namesake, Dr. Drake, in the _Archæological Journal_, 1873; and Mr. Walter Herries Pollock says the latest word in the _National Review_, May, 1883. Two other testimonies to the alleged change of the name of San Francisco Bay (see p. 77) may be found among the contributions of the middle of the last century to the history of the Pacific coast geography. The map published by the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg in 1754 and 1773 says, “Port de Francois Drake, fausement appellé de St. Francois.” J. Green, in his _Remarks in support of the new Chart of North and South America_, London, 1753, says, “The French geographers within this century have converted Port Sir Francois Drake into Port San Francisco.”] CHAPTER III.
