EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite ink and wash drawing depicts the Umatacs anchorage in Guam Island during the Malaspina Expedition (1789-1794). The Spanish exploratory voyage, led by Alessandro Malaspina and José María Narváez, was one of the most comprehensive explorations of the Pacific Ocean in the late 18th century. The drawing, created by Fernando Brambila, captures the serene beauty of the island's interior, with its lush greenery and white sandy beaches. The Umatacs, the native inhabitants of Guam, are shown in their canoes, anchored at the shoreline, engaging in trade with the Spanish explorers. The intricate details of the drawing, from the textured foliage to the delicate ripples on the water, transport us back in time to this historic moment. The Malaspina Expedition aimed to expand Spain's knowledge of the Pacific world, map the coasts, and establish trade relationships. This drawing is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place during this period, as well as the artistic skill of Fernando Brambila. The drawing is now part of the prestigious Navy Museum collection in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the fascinating history of Pacific exploration.
