"Drake's Attack upon San Domingo, 1586," published in Harper's Magazine in 1883, is a historical illustration by the renowned American artist and author Howard Pyle. This work captures a significant event during the Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604), where the English privateer Sir Francis Drake led a daring assault on the Spanish-held city of San Domingo (present-day Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic). Pyle, often referred to as the "Father of American Illustration," was known for his vivid and meticulously researched depictions of historical events, and this piece is no exception.

The illustration portrays the intensity and drama of the attack, reflecting Pyle's ability to bring historical moments to life through his art. His work is characterized by a strong sense of narrative and attention to detail, which helps viewers gain a deeper understanding of the historical context and the significance of Drake's expedition. The attack on San Domingo was part of Drake's larger campaign in the Caribbean, aimed at weakening Spanish influence and disrupting their colonial enterprises.

Pyle's illustration not only serves as a visual representation of this historical event but also as an educational tool that provides insight into the tactics and experiences of 16th-century naval warfare. The publication of this work in Harper's Magazine, a leading periodical of the time, helped to popularize historical illustrations and brought Pyle's work to a broader audience. Through his art, Pyle contributed to the romanticized view of piracy and privateering that has persisted in popular culture.
