EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured engraving from 1713, created by John Seller, showcases a detailed chart of Jamaica, Barbados, St Christopher, Martinique, Antigua and Bermuda. The intricate map is part of Seller's 'English Pilot' Fourth Book, West India Navigation and was published during the early 18th century.
John Seller, who served as Hydrographer to King Charles II, collaborated with Thornton, Fisher, Atkinson and Colson in 1677 to produce this masterpiece of cartography. The map provides a glimpse into the colonial era of the British West Indies and highlights the strategic importance of these islands in the Caribbean.
The black-and-white print captures the essence of exploration and navigation during that period. It offers a historical perspective on the geographical layout of these territories in North America and Central America.
As we admire this piece from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back to a time when maps were essential tools for sailors navigating uncharted waters. The attention to detail in depicting coastlines, rivers and settlements reflects Seller's dedication to accuracy in his work.
This engraving serves as a reminder of our rich maritime history and invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such intricate maps centuries ago.
