EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the beauty and history of The Port of Mahon and its surrounding area in 1786. From Cala Murte to Cala Rafalet, every detail is meticulously depicted by Salvador Carmona and Manuel Drouet. The intricate lines and shading bring to life the ruins of Castillo de San Felipe, existing batteries, campsites, trenches, and batteries from the last siege.
The key within the title cartouche provides a guide to understanding this historical map, inscribed with detailed descriptions of each feature portrayed. The scale of approximately 1:2,000 allows for a comprehensive view of Minorca's coastline during this period.
As you gaze upon this engraving from the National Maritime Museum in London, you are transported back in time to witness the strategic importance and natural beauty of one of Spain's most significant ports. The north direction at 310 degrees adds authenticity to this piece of cartographic artistry.
This black-and-white image not only serves as a visual representation but also as a historical document that showcases the skill and precision required in creating maps during the 18th century. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication put into preserving our past for future generations to appreciate.
