EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Guayaquil R, 1685 by William Hack offers a glimpse into the intricate world of cartography in the 17th century. The bound sheet, measuring 40x50 cm, is housed at the National Maritime Museum in London and showcases South America's Pacific Coast, specifically Ecuador and Rio Guayas.
Created as part of 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', an English translation captured from a Spanish derrotero by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this map is a true work of art. It not only depicts Sharpe's track but also features details such as the silver mine at Potosi, a beautifully decorated title cartouche, and scale markings.
William Hack's skillful rendering of this region highlights his expertise in cartography during this period. Presented to James II, this particular copy is just one of many atlases created by Hack. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring to life the coastal landscape and maritime routes depicted on the map.
As you gaze upon this historical treasure, you can't help but appreciate the artistry and precision that went into creating such detailed maps centuries ago. This print serves as a reminder of our rich maritime history and the importance of preserving these works for future generations to enjoy.
