EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving from 1588 depicts a detailed map of Cartagena, showcasing the intricate coastlines and harbors of this historic Colombian city. Created by Giovanni Baptista Boazio, this artwork is part of a series of charts drawn to accompany Walter Bigges' Expeditio Francisci Draki.
The map captures the essence of the famous West Indian voyage made by the English fleet in 1585-1586, highlighting key locations such as St. Iago, Sto Domingo, Cartagena, and Augustines. The pricked line on the map clearly outlines the course of this significant journey that began in Plymouth and ended in Portsmouth.
In addition to its cartographic significance, this engraving also features mythical creatures and reptiles along the coastline, adding an element of fantasy to an otherwise realistic depiction. The vibrant colors used in this hand-colored engraving bring life to each detail, from ships sailing in the sea to boats docked at port areas.
Overall, this Map of Cartagena serves as both a historical document and a work of art that showcases Boazio's skillful craftsmanship. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past while sparking curiosity about the explorations and adventures that took place during that era.
