Historical notes:
The creator of this map is probably Baptista Boazio, an Italian artist resident in London. Boazio is well known for his manuscript maps, although there is no known engraved work by him. The signature on this map, "Baptista B.," is the only example of his [partial] name on an engraved work. The map is often referred to as the "Drake map."In 1585, Sir Francis Drake led a flotilla of ships to the West Indies to harass Spanish settlements. The English fleet captured Santo Domingo on Hispaniola, Cartagena, Colombia, and St. Augustine, Florida. On the return voyage, they picked up passengers from the Roanoke colony. This map is one of four illustrating Drake's successes probably made by Baptista Boazio. It may have been published in Leiden.
