EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of The Bay of Escoria, 1685 by William Hack transports us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of cartography during this time. The detailed depiction of North America's Pacific Coast, specifically Panama, Punta Mala and Nata, showcases Hack's skill in capturing the essence of these coastal regions.
Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', an English translation captured from a Spanish derrotero by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this print is not just a map but a piece of history. Presented to James II, it highlights Sharpe's track and even includes illustrations such as the silver mine at Potosi.
The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life the coastlines and sea depicted in exquisite detail. It is evident that Hack put great care into creating this work of art, with its ornate title cartouche and scale adding an extra layer of sophistication.
As we gaze upon this print from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are reminded of the importance of preserving historical artifacts like these. They serve as windows into our past and allow us to appreciate both the artistry and functionality found in centuries-old maps like The Bay of Escoria.
