EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured manuscript print of Bahia de Ancon de Sardinas from 1682 captures the beauty and intricacy of Basil Ringrose's work. The detailed map, part of a book of sailing directions, showcases the coastlines of Colombia and Ecuador with precision and artistry.
Ringrose's creation, known as 'The South Sea Waggoner,' provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the waters from California to the Straits of Le Maire. The square pencil grid on each chart allows for easy replication, highlighting the practicality and utility of this historical document.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and cartography were at their peak. The vibrant colours used by Ringrose bring life to the coastal scenes depicted on these maps, inviting us to imagine what it must have been like to sail these waters centuries ago.
This print is not just a work of art but also a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the maritime history of South America during the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maps and exploration, capturing both our curiosity about distant lands and our admiration for those who dared to venture into the unknown seas.
