| 释义 |
John Derricke (fl. 1578–1581) was the author and artist of The Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne, a 1581 book describing the Irish campaigns of Lord Deputy Henry Sidney. The book's dedication to Sir Philip Sidney was signed at Dublin on 16 June 1578,[1] indicating that Derricke completed the book in Ireland and was likely an eyewitness to the events therein. Katherine Duncan-Jones connects Derricke's dedication to an assumption that Sir Philip would succeed Sir Henry, his father, as Lord Deputy.[1] He probably returned to England with Sidney in 1578, after which his illustrations would have been engraved and his book published in London by John Day in 1581.[1] He was, in most likelihood, also the John Derick who was appointed to collect custom duty on wine imported into Drogheda port in 1569.[2] Notes1. ^Katherine Duncan-Jones , Sir Philip Sidney, Courtier Poet (1991), p. 229. 2. ^1 2 {{ODNBweb|first=Andrew|last=Hadfield|id=7537|title=Derricke, John (fl. 1578–1581)}} References
