EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the chaotic aftermath of the naval attack on the city of Santo Domingo, located on the island of Hispaniola, by the English pirate and explorer, Francis Drake, in January 1586. The Anglo-Spanish War had been raging for over a decade, and Drake, leading a fleet of English ships, had set his sights on the wealthy Spanish colony. As the English forces stormed the city, they encountered fierce resistance from the Spanish defenders, who had barricaded themselves within the walls. The print shows the moment of breakthrough, as English soldiers surge forward, their guns at the ready, to overcome the barricade. The scene is one of brutal conflict, with the lifeless bodies of Spanish soldiers and civilians scattered on the ground, and opposing soldiers frantically running to engage the attackers. The attack on Santo Domingo was a significant victory for Drake and the English, who were able to plunder the city's riches and inflict heavy damage on the Spanish forces. However, the cost was high, with many English lives lost in the fierce fighting. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on innocent lives, and the brutal nature of military conflict during this period.
