EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reproduction tapestry depicting the historic event of the Spanish Armada's presence in the English Channel from 16-20 July. The tapestry features the Spanish fleet below the picturesque coast of Cornwall and Devon, adorned with the coat of arms of Queen Elizabeth I. Surrounding this central scene is an ornate border, embellished with eight portraits of esteemed commanders from the English fleet. Atop these portraits sits a prominent depiction of Charles Howard, Lord High Admiral and commander-in-chief during this momentous battle against the Spanish Armada. Flanking his portrait are putti blowing trumpets, playing drums, writing down events in books, and even wielding swords and ouroboros symbols representing eternity. The tapestry also includes various symbolic elements such as two eagles clutching lightning bolts, representations of the four winds, lions holding columns or tridents, and a coat of arms displaying an Anchor of Hope - symbolizing strength and resilience. This remarkable print forms part of an album dedicated to documenting both historical accounts surrounding the Spanish Armada as well as intricate carpets created under Charles Howard's patronage. Created through etching on paper by John Pine in London on 24th June 1739; it measures approximately 246mm x 479mm (print) or 384mm x 611mm (album). A true testament to artistry and history intertwined, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of England's most significant naval battles while showcasing exquisite craftsmanship within its detailed imagery.
