EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Page 38a Map of S. Andehman Island". Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this pen and ink map is a testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The intricate details of this map are truly awe-inspiring. From the carefully drawn coastlines and shorelines to the meticulously labeled physical features, every element has been thoughtfully included. The numbers, key, compass, and scale provide valuable information for navigation and exploration. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but imagine the adventures that took place during Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775). This map was part of Admiral Isaac Smith's collection and offers us a glimpse into the geographical knowledge available at that time. Measuring 49 x 70 cm within its album, this historic artifact now resides in Mitchell Library at State Library of New South Wales. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also as a tangible link to our past. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to the XVIIIth century when exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our world's coastal regions and maritime boundaries.
