EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and Chinese ink drawing depicts the Port of Nutka, a significant stop during the Malaspina Expedition of 1789-1794. The expedition, led by Spanish explorers Alessandro Malaspina and José Narváez de Sentillana, aimed to explore and map the North Pacific and North American coasts. In this scene, we see a Spanish galleon anchored in the harbor, with the Spanish flag proudly flying high. The drawing, created by the Spanish artist Josè Cardero in 1798, captures the bustling activity of the port. Lantana camara bushes are visible in the foreground, adding a touch of vibrant color to the otherwise monochromatic drawing. The Malaspina Expedition is an important chapter in the history of exploration and colonialism in the Americas. The expedition took place during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a time when European powers were vying for control of territories in the New World. The drawing provides a glimpse into the interactions between the Spanish explorers and the local populations, as well as the daily life of the sailors and mariners. This drawing is now part of the collection of the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community. The museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history and cultural heritage of the Americas, with a focus on the Spanish colonial period. The horizontal composition of the drawing, bathed in daylight, invites the viewer to imagine the scene unfolding in real life, transporting us back in time to the bustling Port of Nutka during the Malaspina Expedition.
