Description
Français : Négociant international et fondateur de la fortune multimillionnaire des Drake, James Drake (1763-1838), aussi dénommé Don Guillermo Santiago Drake del Castillo, est représenté revêtu d'une redingote aux grands boutons dorés et d'un pantalon vert bouteille, gilet à flanelle, chemise blanche à col montant et cravate, il porte à la taille trois sceaux à cacheter à pierre jaune et verte, en or et un à intaille d'émeraude. On retrouve la plupart de ces effets inscrits dans son inventaire après décès, établi le 15 février 1838, à l'hôtel garni n°2 rue de Castiglione à Paris (Archives nationales, MC/ET/026/1079). Issu d'Axminster dans le comté de Devon. Naturalisé espagnol après le lancement de son entreprise d'import-export de produits manufacturés à Cuba, Drake épouse à La Havane Carlotta del Rosario Nunez del Castillo y Perez le 17 mai 1800. Les del Castillo détiennent la plus grande réserve foncière à Cuba, ce qui permet à James William d'implanter sa production de canne à sucre qui constitue la fortune familiale. Ses fils, Carlos, Santiago et Francisco continuent d'assurer la prospérité de l'entreprise. C'est ce fils aussi appelé Santiago qui se fixe durablement en France et participe à la direction de la firme depuis Paris, faisant l'acquisition du château de Candé en Touraine.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
