EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Bonaventura, 1685 by William Hack transports us back to the 17th century and the age of exploration. The intricate details captured in this bound sheet showcase South America's Pacific Coast, specifically Colombia and Bahia Bonaventura. Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', an English translation of a Spanish derrotero seized from the Spanish ship 'Rosario' by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this piece is not only a work of art but also a historical treasure.
William Hack's meticulous cartography highlights Sharpe's track along with depictions of the silver mine at Potosi. The ornate title cartouche and scale add to the overall grandeur of this map, which was presented to James II. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the vastness and beauty of our world as seen through the eyes of explorers centuries ago.
The vibrant colors and detailed drawings bring to life a time when maritime adventures shaped our understanding of distant lands. This print serves as a reminder that history is not just words on a page but can be visualized through works like these that capture moments frozen in time.
