[M] A 19TH CENTURY STAINED GLASS ROUNDEL BEARING...
A 19TH CENTURY STAINED GLASS ROUNDEL BEARING THE ARMS OF ADMIRAL SIR JOHN HAWKINS
in etched and coloured glass with lead lining and contained within two coloured roundels, the outer with suspension loop -- 10½in. (27cm.) diam.
A later grant to Sir John in 1571 alters from these with the addition of a heraldic device related to Riohacha, Colombia. Sir John Hawkins (1532-95) styled himself Captain General, was an English naval commander and administrator, merchant, navigator, shipbuilder, privateer and slave trader. He was considered the first English trader to profit from the Triangle Trade, based on selling supplies to colonies ill-supplied by their home countries, and their demand for African slaves in the Spanish colonies of Santo Domingo and Venezuela. He sailed on several voyages of discovery and was amongst the first Europeans to witness tobacco usage which he brought back to London in 1565. Together with his cousin, Sir Francis Drake, they dominated the Royal Navy - Hawkins designed some of the fast ships that nipped at the Spanish Armada and served as Vice Admiral in that action. Upon their departure, the Royal Navy slumped into a sharp decline.
