"William Rayner's England's Glory was aimed at the 'insignificant Body of Tradesmen and Mechanics' who were said by the government to favour war with Spain. Indeed, on a view of a recent victory [ie Porto Bello] that was added to the series, the address of Caleb Danvers accompanied that of Rayner on the publication line." From Clayton, The English Print, p 150. 
William Rayner's conception of Porto Bello owes something to the English seaside.
