Map of Great Britain; A Chart Shewing The Several Places of Action Between The English and Spanish Fleets, With The Places WHERE Serval of the Spanish Ships Were Destroyed in their return to Spain. North About The British Islands. Map of Great Britain with Left Ireland and on the right the shores of Norway, the Netherlands and France. On the right a title shield where a lion with banner and a putto with trident. Different coats of arms have been placed in the map, including those of the English Queen Elizabeth I and the weapons of Holland and Zeeland. At the sea the route has indicated that the Spanish fleet has covered in 1588. The whole is caught in a cartouche with a Corona navalis (ship's crown) at the top and at the bottom of the Head of Neptune. Brittannia is on the left. Her thunder and lightning touches Spain (Castile and León), envy and superstition. On the right the true faith. She has a torch and a large Bible as attributes and sends the lightning at ignorance, hypocrisy and papers. Furthermore, the front and back of two coins or medallions are shown. At the top of the Spanish fleet in a storm with a church on a rock on the other side on a rock in a wild sea, an image for the Protestant belief that is attacked. At the bottom of a coin with the decay of the Spanish fleet. On the other side, Pope, Cardinals, Bishops, Emperor and other princes are committed. They are blindfolded and have their feet on a floor with pins or nails. The show is part of a book about the Spanish Armada and the carpets that were commissioned by Charles Howard.
