The Harry Grace a Dieu from a drawing in the Anthony Roll
A line engraving of the 80-gun carrack or ‘great ship’ Great Harry – also called Henry (or Henri) Grace à Dieu – at anchor in a calm sea, from a drawing in the Anthony Roll in the Pepysian Collection at Cambridge. The ship’s sails are furled and her pennants flutter elegantly in a light breeze. Although this is a tranquil scene, the open gunports indicate her firepower. The engraving is made after a drawing in the Anthony Roll, which was a record of the ships in the Tudor navy, presented to Henry VIII by Anthony Anthony, a naval ordnance official, in 1546.
