. This print captures a significant moment in American history - the taking of St. Augustine, Florida, by the renowned English explorer and privateer, Sir Francis Drake. Dated back to June 7th, 1586, this engraving from Expeditio Francisci Draki eqvitis angli in Indias Occidentalis offers us the earliest visual depiction of a city within the present limits of the United States. The image showcases an impressive fleet anchored off the coast as Drake's ships dominate the Atlantic Ocean waters. The scene depicts an amalgamation of maritime power and exploration as settlers and colonists disembark from their vessels onto land. This historic event marked England's first successful attempt at establishing a settlement within what is now known as North America. As we delve into this remarkable engraving, we witness not only a pivotal moment in American history but also gain insight into early European exploration and colonization efforts in Latin America and beyond. The intricate details captured here provide us with valuable information about transportation methods used during that era while highlighting Drake's role as an admiral leading his fleet towards new horizons. This print serves as a window to our past - reminding us of those intrepid explorers who paved the way for future generations in shaping what would become one of today's most influential nations: The United States of America.
