Lives and Voyages of Drake, Cavendish, and Dampier is a 1900 New York popular history by C. I. Johnstone, recounting the careers of three English seafarers and the buccaneers of the Spanish Main. The first picture is a stippled engraved portrait of a bearded man in a lace ruff and buttoned doublet, typical of late sixteenth-century dress. A designer could draw on its restrained tonal engraving and period costume details for historical or nautical themes.
