This stunning print captures the intricate details of Coaque and Borrachos, 1685, a bound sheet created by William Hack in the 17th century. The artwork is part of an atlas titled 'A Wagoner of the South Sea describing the sea coast from Acapulco to Albemarle isle', which was originally captured from a Spanish ship by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680.
The image showcases South America, specifically the Pacific Coast and Ecuador, with detailed depictions of Sharpe's track, the silver mine at Potosi, and a beautifully decorated title cartouche and scale.
