EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Map of the Western Ocean," offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of 18th-century exploration and discovery. Drawn from the meticulous observations and records of renowned explorer Sir Hans Sloane during his voyage to Jamaica between 1707 and 1725, this map provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Western Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Greater Antilles during that era. Sir Hans Sloane, an Irish physician, naturalist, and collector, embarked on his journey to Jamaica at the behest of King James I. His primary objective was to study the natural history of the island, but his voyages also took him to other parts of the Caribbean, allowing him to document the geography of the region with remarkable precision. The map showcases various islands of the Greater Antilles, including Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico, as well as the Bahamas and the coastlines of Central America. The intricate detailing of the map reveals the depth contours, underwater features, and even the locations of known shipwrecks. The "Map of the Western Ocean" is an essential historical document that sheds light on the early European exploration of the Caribbean and the Americas. Sir Hans Sloane's contributions to cartography and natural history laid the groundwork for future explorers and scientists, expanding the collective knowledge of the world during the Age of Discovery. This map print is a testament to the spirit of adventure and curiosity that fueled the exploration of new lands and waters, and it continues to captivate and inspire us today as a reminder of the rich history of discovery and the wonders of the natural world.
