EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map engraved by Augustine Ryther in 1588, depicting the route of the Armada fleet. The image takes us back to a time when Spanish galleons sailed the seas, their coats of arms proudly displayed as they embarked on a fateful journey. The map reveals the strategic direction taken by this formidable fleet under the command of Philip II during his reign from 1556 to 1598. It also highlights notable figures such as Sir Francis Drake, whose audacious attacks on Spanish ships earned him both fame and notoriety. Intriguingly, this engraving captures more than just geographical information; it tells a story of pursuit and conflict. The Spanish fleet is shown aggressively attacking its adversaries while sailing towards England's shores. As we study this piece closely, we can almost feel the tension mounting between these two great naval powers. The inclusion of a scale adds an element of precision to Ryther's work, emphasizing his commitment to accuracy in cartography. This attention to detail further enhances our understanding and appreciation for this historical artifact. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on how maps like these provide invaluable insights into our past – reminding us that even centuries later, tales of conquests at sea continue to captivate our imaginations.
