EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Map of the South Pacific, or the Great South Sea," dates back to the year 1700. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the early European exploration and understanding of the vast Pacific Ocean. The intricate detail and meticulousness with which the various islands and waterways are depicted reflect the immense efforts made by cartographers of the time to chart the unknown. The map is adorned with an abundance of annotations, including the names of various islands and archipelagos, some of which were likely discovered only recently by European explorers. The map also features numerous illustrations of exotic animals and mythical creatures, reflecting the sense of wonder and mystery that surrounded the Pacific and its inhabitants. At the center of the map, the island of New Guinea dominates the scene, with its sprawling terrain and intricate coastline. To the east, the Solomon Islands and the eastern half of the vast archipelago of New Hebrides can be seen, while to the west, the islands of Palau, the Philippines, and Borneo are depicted. The Pacific Ocean itself is depicted with remarkable accuracy for the time, with various currents and waterways labeled. The equator is clearly marked, as are the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The map also includes a detailed inset of the coast of New Holland (Australia) and the surrounding waters. This map print is a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the early modern period. It offers a unique perspective on a time when the world was still largely unknown, and the Pacific Ocean was a vast and mysterious expanse that held countless wonders and challenges for those brave enough to venture into its depths.
