"Incredibly rare maps of the defeat of the Spanish Armada at risk of export. Culture Minister stops export of ten hand-drawn maps depicting the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588".

"Valued at £600,000 the works are the only surviving contemporary drawings of the battle"

Note the persuasive arguments of Peter Barber, member of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest.
