[3], 23, [1] pages : x double plates, maps ; 55 cm During or immediately after the Armada campaign, Robert Adams, Surveyor of Works to Queen Elizabeth I, prepared a series of drawings displaying the principal incidents of the sea battles between the Spanish and English, with a general map. These were engraved and published by Augustine Ryther. Shortly thereafter, the English commander-in-chief, Lord Howard of Effingham, ordered a set of tapestries after the Adams drawings (or the engravings from them); these were made by Henrik C. Vroom and Francis Spiring of Haarlem. In 1616, Howard sold the tapestries to King James I, who hung them in the House of Lords, where they remained until their destruction by fire in 1834. The present series of engravings is therefore the sole record of the appearance of the tapestries, which are, of course, an important original iconographic source for the history of the Armada, as we may assume that Howard would have taken care to have them accurately done. The series consists of 10 double folio engravings depicting the tapestries; 5 double folio engravings bearing copies of the Adams-Ryther engravings, two subjects to the plate; one double folio plate displaying a copy of the Adams-Ryther general map; two double folio engraved maps of English coastal defenses. The engravings in blue-black tint are framed by elaborate borders in black ink containing medals, portraits, etc. by John Pine, engraver. e-uk-en Great Britain. Parliament.
