EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Amilpas, 1685 by William Hack offers a glimpse into the intricate world of cartography in the 17th century. Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', this piece showcases North America, the Pacific Coast, Mexico, Guatemala, and Tacana with exquisite detail.
Captured from the Spanish ship 'Rosario' by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this bound sheet was presented to James II and is a testament to both exploration and conquest during that era. The map not only displays Sharpe's track but also features depictions of the silver mine at Potosi along with a beautifully decorated title cartouche and scale.
The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring to life the coastlines of Central America and highlight key landmarks along the way. From Mexico to Guatemala, every inch of this map tells a story of discovery and adventure.
As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are transported back in time to an age where maps were not just tools for navigation but works of art in their own right. The intricacy and attention to detail displayed here serve as a reminder of the rich history behind each line drawn on paper.
