EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Page 37c Plan of the harbour of St. Lucia" a remarkable piece of cartography from the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, this map is part of the collection held at Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The album measures an impressive 49 x 70 cm and features original sketches, drawings, maps, and more collected by Admiral Isaac Smith. The intricately detailed drawing depicts the coastline and shoreline of St. Lucia's harbor with precision and accuracy. Labeled with numbers and accompanied by a key, compass, and scale, this map offers valuable insights into the geography and topography of the Caribbean region during that time. As we delve into its rich history, we are transported back to Captain Cook's Second Voyage (1772-1775), as it includes drawings and watercolors by renowned artists such as William Hodges and Henry Roberts. This fascinating artifact not only serves as a testament to the artistry involved in cartographic surveying but also provides invaluable information about maritime exploration in the XVIIIth century Lesser Antilles region. With its coastal charm and nautical allure, this print captures our imagination while reminding us of centuries past when brave explorers set sail on daring expeditions to uncover new lands.
