EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "A Map of Bermuda, 1775-85" takes us on a journey back in time to the late eighteenth century. Measuring 17x13 inches, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and showcases the talent of an Italian artist from the 18th century. The map itself provides a detailed depiction of Bermuda's coastline, with its palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Navigational equipment can be seen scattered across the shoreline, hinting at the island's importance as a hub for maritime activities during that era. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to an enchanting scene featuring a majestic lion resting beneath one of these towering palms. The presence of this big cat adds an element of intrigue and wonder to the composition. Nature comes alive through vibrant hand colouring techniques employed by the artist. A parrot perched on a nearby tree branch adds bursts of vivid hues against the backdrop of blue waters surrounding Bermuda. Transportation plays a significant role in this artwork as well. A water vessel gracefully glides along the coast while another ship sails off into the distance. These elements remind us that Bermuda was not only known for its natural beauty but also served as an important hub for trade and exploration during this period. Overall, this print offers us glimpses into both historical geography and artistic craftsmanship from centuries past—a true treasure worth cherishing for any art enthusiast or history lover alike.
