EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historically significant map titled "Map of the Southeastern part of North America, 1721". Created by William Hammerton and based on the work of John Barnwell, this pen and ink masterpiece is housed at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, USA. The map itself holds immense political importance as it served as a crucial document that laid the foundation for subsequent mapping of the region until the American Revolution. It provides valuable insights into the early development and exploration of what would become southeastern states in present-day United States. With intricate details rendered through delicate washes on paper, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into an era when cartography was both an art form and a means to navigate uncharted territories. The map encompasses vast stretches from Gulf of Mexico to eastern regions, capturing not only geographical features but also important settlements and boundaries. Gifted to Yale's Acorn Foundation Inc. , by Alexander O. Vietor in honor of Paul Mellon, this piece symbolizes their commitment to preserving historical artifacts for future generations. As we admire this remarkable creation today, let us appreciate its significance in shaping our understanding of early America while acknowledging its contribution to cartographic history.
