Description
Photograph of a drawing by Wallace Robin depicting a pair of Spanish Galleons in the open seas, [s.d.]. One of the ships is in the center of the image, and all of the sails attached to its three masts have fully caught the wind. A cross is visible on two of the sails, and there is a flag on the main mast with the images of a castle and of a prancing animal. Another ship, similar in appearance to the first, is on the horizon on the left. The sun is setting below the choppy water on the right, behind a wispy cloud. Drawn 1700.
