EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of Cape Espiritu Santo on Samal, one of the Philippine Islands. The image is taken from a copperplate etching created in 1748 by J. Mason, who skillfully depicted the scene from George Anson's voyage round the world in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV. Anson, commander in chief of a squadron of His Majesty's ships sent upon an expedition to the South Seas, compiled this remarkable collection from his own papers and materials. In this particular plate, we witness a fierce battle between two mighty vessels - the Centurion and the Spanish Galeon called Nostra Seigniora de Cabadonga. The intensity of their clash is palpable as they engage in combat amidst turbulent waves. It serves as a testament to Anson's daring journey and highlights his encounters with formidable adversaries during his exploration. The etching showcases intricate details that bring this historical moment to life: every stroke meticulously portrays both ships' grandeur and power. At lower right corner lies Mason's inscription signifying his artistic contribution to immortalize this epic confrontation. This print not only offers us a glimpse into Anson's extraordinary voyage but also allows us to appreciate the artistry involved in capturing such pivotal moments throughout history. It stands as a reminder of our insatiable curiosity for discovery and our relentless pursuit of new horizons.
