EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail of Map No. 6, titled "The Route of the Spanish Armada," offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history. Engraved by Augustine Ryther and created by the renowned American photographer Robert Adams, this historical map provides an intricate and meticulously detailed representation of the journey of the Spanish Armada fleet during its ill-fated invasion of England in 1588. The Spanish Armada was a grand naval expedition, assembled by King Philip II of Spain with the intention of defeating England's naval forces and establishing Catholic supremacy in the North Sea. The fleet, comprised of over 130 ships and carrying thousands of soldiers, set sail from the Spanish port of Lisbon in May 1588. As the Spanish Armada made its way across the English Channel, it encountered a series of storms that dispersed the fleet and weakened its defenses. The English, under the command of Queen Elizabeth I and her admiral, Sir Francis Drake, seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack. The ensuing battles, fought in the English Channel and the North Sea, resulted in the destruction of the majority of the Spanish Armada. This detailed map, created in the late 16th or early 17th century, illustrates the route of the Spanish Armada as it sailed from the Iberian Peninsula, through the English Channel, and into the North Sea. The intricate lines and annotations provide valuable information about the ports of call, wind patterns, and currents that influenced the course of the fleet. The map also includes annotations indicating the locations of key battles and engagements. This historical map is an essential resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich and complex history of Europe during the late Renaissance period. The intricate detail and meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving by Augustine Ryther, under the direction of Robert Adams, make this a stunning and valuable addition to any collection.
