EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reproduction tapestry depicting the historic events of the Spanish Armada from 29-31 July. The tapestry portrays the English and Spanish fleets engaged in battle, positioned in the Channel between Dover and Calais. Adorned with the coat of arms of Queen Elizabeth I, this intricate artwork is encased within an ornamental border featuring 22 portraits of commanders from the English fleet. The central portrait highlights Charles Howard, the Lord High Admiral, while his weapon occupies the upper corners. Surrounding these commanding figures are delicate depictions of flower and fruit garlands, playful monkeys, graceful birds, cherubic putti, and abundant cornucopias. Commissioned by Charles Howard himself as part of a book dedicated to documenting the Spanish Armada's history, this remarkable showpiece also pays homage to key individuals involved in this naval force. Among them are notable names such as Francis Drake, Thomas Vavasour, Sir Martin Frobisher, George Clifford (3rd Earl of Cumberland), and many others who played pivotal roles during this significant period. Printed on high-quality paper through an etching process measuring approximately 250 mm in height by 483 mm in width for its main section and 377 mm by 607 mm for its overall dimensions; this print captures every intricate detail with precision. A true testament to both artistry and historical significance alike - it serves as a fascinating window into one of England's most iconic moments at sea.
