Description: This portrait of explorer Martin Frobisher is part of the Heroologia Anglica, a two-volume collection of engraved portraits of 65 illustrious English people (1620). Since this engraving was created only two decades after Frobisher's death (1594), it is possible that it was based on a portrait from his lifetime that has since been lost.
Title: Martinus Frobisherus E' auratus
