EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Guatulco, 1685 captures the essence of exploration and discovery in the 17th century. Created by William Hack, a renowned cartographer of his time, this bound sheet is a true masterpiece that showcases North America's Pacific Coast, specifically Mexico and Puerto Guatulco.
Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea describing the sea coast from Acapulco to Albemarle Isle', this English translation was captured from a Spanish derrotero by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680. Hack meticulously replicated multiple copies of this atlas, with one being presented to James II. The map not only illustrates Sharpe's track but also features intricate details such as the silver mine at Potosi, a beautifully decorated title cartouche, and an accurate scale.
The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the coastal scene depicted on the map. The careful attention to detail highlights Hack's skill as an artist and cartographer during the early 17th century. This piece serves as a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into maritime navigation and exploration during that era.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this print is a testament to both artistic talent and scientific precision in mapping out uncharted territories. It stands as a reminder of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and adventure across vast oceans.
