520 | |a The traditional English cloth trade between London and Antwerp entered a period of decline around 1550, prompting enterprising English merchants and mercantile investors to look farther afield for markets and commodities. Opening and maintaining profitable trade relations over great distances was an extremely difficult undertaking in the sixteenth century; before they could exploit new markets the English had to acquire and master considerable information about them. In this, they benefited from the assistance of a number of so-called mercantile advisors, individuals who collected, compiled, and disseminated information and advice useful to merchants, investors, and explorers. Moreover, the audience for such advice extended well beyond the mercantile community; a number of Elizabethan privy councilors were very interested in promoting English exploration and trade and were active consumers of mercantile information. Mercantile advisors helped to shape the way in which the English perceived the rest of the world and their place within it. | ||
