EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portland Bill to Portsmouth: The pursuit of the Spanish Armada by the English Fleet, c1588" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by Augustine Ryther and based on Robert Adams' original work, this image showcases the relentless chase between the English and Spanish fleets during the late 16th century. The print, featured in The Connoisseur Volume XCI edited by F. Gordon Roe in 1933, transports us to an era where navigation relied on compasses and maps like this one. With its close-up view of England's southern coast, we can almost feel the tension as both nations' crests proudly adorn their respective ships. Hampshire's coastal location becomes even more prominent as Portsmouth emerges as a vital port for the English fleet. This engraving beautifully captures not only historical events but also heraldry from both countries involved. As we delve into this piece from The Print Collector collection curated by Frederic Gordon Roe himself, it serves as a reminder of how art can encapsulate moments that shaped our world centuries ago. Whether you are an enthusiast or historian, this print offers a glimpse into one of England's most iconic naval victories against Spain's formidable Armada.
