EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Anagadas, 1685 by William Hack transports us back to the 17th century and the age of exploration. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a time when maps were not just navigational tools, but works of art in their own right.
Bound in 'A Wagoner of the South Sea describing the sea coast from Acapulco to Albemarle isle', this English translation of a Spanish derrotero captured from the Spanish ship 'Rosario' in 1680 provides a fascinating glimpse into historical cartography. The track of Captain Bartholomew Sharpe, the silver mine at Potosi, and decorative elements such as title cartouches all contribute to making this map a true masterpiece.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to South America's Pacific Coast, specifically Colombia and San Francisco Solano. The attention to detail and skillful rendering make it clear why multiple copies of this atlas were made by Hack. Presented to James II, this particular print is now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London.
This print serves as a reminder of both our past explorations and our enduring fascination with maps as windows into history. It is truly a treasure worth admiring for generations to come.
