EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the beauty of Azores Corvo and Flores, meticulously surveyed by Captain A.T.E Vidal R.N in 1844. The intricate details captured in this chart, engraved by J & C Walker, provide a glimpse into the rich history and geography of these Portuguese islands.
The scale of approximately 1:150,000 allows for a comprehensive view of the topography and coastal features of Corvo and Flores. Additionally, two insets offer closer examinations of Caldeira de Corvo and Santa Cruz at scales around 1:25,000 each.
The six views included on the chart provide a unique perspective on various aspects of these islands, from their landscapes to their ports. This print serves as both a navigational tool for sailors and a work of art for admirers of cartography.
As we gaze upon this historical piece from 1849-73 held at the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back in time to when exploration was at its peak. The dedication and precision required to create such detailed maps is evident in every line etched onto paper.
Let us appreciate the skill and expertise that went into surveying Azores Corvo and Flores as depicted in this remarkable print by Captain A.T.E Vidal R.N.
