EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of history: "A Plan Harbour Acapulco Bay Manila View 2 Ladrone Islands". The image is an etching created by Richard William Seale in 1748, depicting two plans and one view of islands. It is part of George Anson's renowned publication titled "A voyage round the world, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV". Commander George Anson led a squadron of His Majesty's ships on an extraordinary expedition to the South Seas. This fold-out plate offers a glimpse into his journey as it features detailed plans of both Acapulco Harbor and Manila Bay. These strategic locations played crucial roles during that era. Additionally, the print presents a breathtaking view of two enchanting Ladrone Islands. The intricate etching captures their natural beauty and invites viewers to imagine themselves exploring these remote paradises. Published under Lord Anson's direction, this historical document was compiled from papers and materials collected throughout his voyage. Its significance lies not only in its artistic representation but also in its contribution to our understanding of maritime exploration during that time. Richard William Seale skillfully brought this fascinating scene to life through copperplate etching techniques. The inscription at the lower right corner credits him with creating this masterpiece. As we admire this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Commander George Anson's incredible journey around the world aboard His Majesty's ships – an adventure filled with discovery and wonderment.
