EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Quemado, 1685 captures a moment in history when the world was still largely uncharted and full of mystery. Created by William Hack in the 17th century, this bound sheet is a part of an atlas titled 'A Wagoner of the South Sea describing the sea coast from Acapulco to Albemarle isle'. The atlas was based on a Spanish derrotero captured from the Spanish ship 'Rosario' by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680.
The intricate details on this print showcase South America, specifically the Pacific Coast and Colombia. It includes Sharpe's track, depicts the silver mine at Potosi, and features a beautifully decorated title cartouche and scale. This particular copy was presented to James II, adding to its historical significance.
The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring to life the coastal landscapes depicted on it. The artistry and precision involved in creating such detailed maps during that era are truly remarkable.
