EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Islands of St. Thomas and St. John, 1719" takes us back in time to the picturesque landscapes of the Caribbean. Created by Gerard van Keulen in the late 17th century, this vintage map showcases the beauty and allure of these two islands. Measuring at an impressive 56x100 cm, this print is a true testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The Islands of St. Thomas and St. John are depicted with meticulous detail, highlighting their unique geographical features such as harbors, anchor places, and surrounding areas. As we gaze upon this historical artwork held at Boston Public Library in Massachusetts, USA, we are transported to a world where cotton fields sway gently in tropical breezes while sugar cane thrives under the warm sun. This enchanting place was not only known for its natural resources but also served as a hub for trade with goods like indigo and cocoa being exchanged. The Islands of St. Thomas and St. John were part of Denmark's colonial possessions in the West Indies during that time period. This print provides us with a glimpse into their rich history as well as their significance within the wider context of Caribbean exploration. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this engraving serves as both a work of art and an invaluable historical document capturing a moment frozen in time on these idyllic islands.
