$850.00Braun-and-HogenbergCaletumA decorative antique view / plan of Callais, France by Braun and Hogenberg. The engraving records a brief moment in history 1596 - 1598 during which Callais was taken from the French and occupied by Spain. This was a tumultuous time, less than a decade after the failed "invincible armada" in which Spain attempted to invade and occupy England. Shown in the foreground near the landward drawbridge are two Spanish soldiers- a pike man and an arquebusier. The depiction of Dover, England at the far top of the engraving is a reminder of Callais' strategic position on the English Channel.
