EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history from 1685, showcasing the bound sheet titled "Rosario, 1685" by William Hack. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life South America's Pacific Coast, specifically Colombia and Santa Barbara. This work is part of an atlas called 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', which was created by Hack after capturing a Spanish derrotero from the ship 'Rosario' in 1680.
The map not only shows Captain Bartholomew Sharpe's track but also includes depictions of the silver mine at Potosi, a beautifully decorated title cartouche, and a scale for measurement. It is clear that Hack put immense effort into creating this masterpiece, as it was presented to James II as a gift.
Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to explore the coastlines and maritime routes of South America during the 17th century. The attention to detail and historical significance make this piece truly remarkable. It serves as a reminder of the importance of cartography in understanding our world's past and how art can capture moments in time for future generations to appreciate.
