This print showcases a historical treasure - the Chart of the Spanish Armadas course, 1588. Created in 1893, this print is an engraving by Pines based on a tapestry that once resided in the House of Lords. It was featured as an illustration in "A Short History of the English People" by John Richard Green. The chart depicts the route taken by the Spanish Armada during their ill-fated attempt to invade England under Queen Elizabeth I's reign. This significant event occurred during the late 16th century and had far-reaching consequences for both countries involved. With intricate details and precise cartography, this map offers a glimpse into naval warfare tactics employed during that era. The British Isles are prominently displayed, serving as a reminder of England's vulnerability against Spain's formidable fleet.
