EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the Resolution of Council of War, signed by prominent figures including Admiral Francis Drake and Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, in the pursuit of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The Spanish Armada was a fleet of over 130 ships dispatched by King Philip II of Spain to invade England and quell the rebellion led by Elizabeth I. The English, under the command of Lord Howard of Effingham and Drake, intercepted the Armada off the coast of Gravelines in July 1588. The Resolution of Council of War was a crucial moment in the engagement, as the English commanders debated whether to engage the Spanish fleet in a full-scale battle or to allow the Armada to pass and regroup before attacking. The decision was ultimately made to pursue the Spanish, leading to the decisive Battle of Gravelines on July 29, 1588. The English victory marked a turning point in the war and solidified England's status as a major European power. This print, bearing the signatures of Drake and Howard, is a testament to the strategic planning and leadership that led to the English victory. The document is dated 1588, and is an important primary source for understanding the military and political events of the late 16th century. The print is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the strategies and decision-making processes of the English commanders during a pivotal moment in European history.
