Spanish Map of Britain


This is a Spanish Map from the Sixteenth Century which was drawn in anticipation of the coming war with England. It is interesting in that it shows highly detailed and accurate information in and around Spain and France but it is very hazy in the North of the British Isles which was where much of the Spanish Armada would later find its fate being sealed.
