Reproductie van een wandtapijt over de Spaanse Armada (21 juli).English and Spanish fleet in the canal under the coast of Cornwall and Devon with the coat of arms of the English Queen Elizabeth I. The show (numbered III) is caught in an ornament edge with eight portraits of commanders of the English fleet. In the middle above the portrait of Charles Howard, Lord High Admiral and Charging Commander of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada. Up and down between the portraits shipbags with spears and banners and flanked by Putti. They blow on a bazing or shell, drumming, writing etc. Left and right are four putti with a triumph or memorial column. Two putti decorate the column with garlands. A third putti writes the events on one in book; The fourth has a sword and ouroboros in hand. The Ouroboros is a snake that bites in its own tail and is therefore a symbol of eternity. Furthermore, two eagles with lightning bolts, the four winds and two lions with column or trident and a coat of arms. The judge shows the anchor of hope, the arm of the English admiralty. The show is part of a book about the Spanish Armada and the carpets that were commissioned by Charles Howard.
