Illustration of the Spanish Armada with Portrait Roundels
Engraving of the Spanish Armada sighted off the French coast being attacked by the English fleet. The central image is surrounded by 18 portrait medallions of the English admirals and captains.
Can you find Sir Martin Frobisher, and his fellow captains Francis Drake and John Hawkins?
This engraving was made in 1750, nearly 200 years after the Armada. Does this make it reliable evidence or propaganda?
Whose perspective is it from? Whose voices are missing?
