EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail of Masias and Galera, 1685, a bound sheet created by William Hack in the 17th century. The artwork showcases North America's Pacific Coast, specifically Mexico's Rio Colotepec and Rio Tonameca. Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea describing the sea coast from Acapulco to Albemarle Isle', this piece is an English translation of a Spanish derrotero captured from the Spanish ship 'Rosario' by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680.
William Hack meticulously crafted multiple copies of this atlas, with one being presented to James II. The print not only depicts Sharpe's track but also features detailed illustrations such as the silver mine at Potosi, a beautifully decorated title cartouche, and scale measurements.
The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring to life the coastal landscapes and maritime routes depicted on the map. It serves as a valuable historical document showcasing early cartography techniques and providing insight into navigation during that period.
This image is a true work of art that highlights both the artistic skill of William Hack and the importance of mapping in understanding geographical locations during the 17th century.
