notes:
This view, one of four illustrating Drake's conquests, shows Sir Francis Drake's sack of Saint Augustine on May 28 and 29, 1586. It is the first known printed representation of a European settlement in North America. It also includes an illustration of a dolphin or dorado fish likely copied from a drawing of John White (and is the first White drawing to be published). The map was perhaps engraved by Baptista Boazio, an Italian artist resident in London well known for his manuscript maps, although no known engraved work with his full name on it exists. The signature on the "Drake map," or "The Famouse West Indian voyadge," of 1589 with its signature, "Baptista B.," is the only example of his [partial] name on an engraved work.
