Name of sitter: Cap: Ioannes Dauis discou: of N.S·E
It is not clear what N.S·E stands for exactly. Maybe N.S. stands for Northern Seas, as the phrase Discoverie of the Northern Seas is used by Purchas in a passage of his book that is about John Davis. As for the E, it is tempting to interpret it as an abbreviation of Eques (knight), a word which occurs on many other miniature portraits on the same title page, but Davis was never knighted. |
