"Kaarten van de Spaanse Armada (22 en 24 juli 1588)" is a map by British artist John Pine, possibly created in 1739. The engraving depicts two maps of the English Channel showing the position of the Spanish Armada on 22nd and 24th July 1588. In the center of the map are portraits of two English naval commanders, Lord Howard of Effingham and Sir Francis Drake, along with a scene of men collecting treasure from a sunken Spanish ship. The map also shows the location of the English fleet as well as the coast of England and France. The piece is a fine example of cartographic art, a genre that combines detailed illustration with scientific accuracy.
