EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of The Bay of Phillipina, 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, Panama, Isla Cebaco and Rio de Jesus is not only visually captivating but also historically significant.
Bound in 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', an English translation captured from a Spanish derrotero by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this print showcases Hack's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Presented to James II, it serves as a testament to the importance of maritime exploration and navigation during this era.
The vibrant colors and elaborate design elements such as the decorated title cartouche and scale add an artistic flair to this map, making it not just a practical tool for navigation but also a work of art in its own right. As we gaze upon this piece from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance embedded within each stroke of Hack's pen.
This print is more than just a representation of geographical locations; it is a window into the past that allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of early cartographic works.
