EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 4 View of Porto Santo extending from NNW to WBW distant 5 miles" takes us back in time to the late 18th century. Created by William Hodges, a renowned artist, this pen and ink drawing with wash showcases his incredible talent for capturing landscapes. The image depicts the stunning coastline of Porto Santo, an island located in the Atlantic Ocean. The view stretches from the northwest-northwest to west-by-west direction, offering a panoramic perspective that spans over five miles. The grey hues used in this artwork add a sense of tranquility and isolation to the scene. Hodges' meticulous attention to detail is evident as he portrays the elevation and profile of the land accurately. One can almost feel themselves standing on those rugged mountains or exploring every nook and cranny of this remote island. This artwork was part of Admiral Isaac Smith's collection, which primarily focused on Captain Cook's second voyage between 1772 and 1775. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that captures the spirit of exploration during that era. Whether you are fascinated by maritime history or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes, this print transports you back in time while showcasing Hodges' exceptional skill as an artist.
