EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of Guarmey, 1685 captures a moment in history when exploration and cartography were at the forefront of discovery. Created by William Hack in the 17th century, this bound sheet is a part of an atlas that showcases South America, specifically Peru and Huarmey on the Pacific Coast.
Bound within 'A Wagoner of the South Sea', which was an English translation captured from a Spanish derrotero by Captain Bartholomew Sharpe in 1680, this print offers a glimpse into the past. It depicts Sharpe's track, highlights the silver mine at Potosi, and features intricate details such as a decorated title cartouche and scale.
Presented to James II, this particular copy of Hack's atlas is now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London. The vibrant colors and detailed drawings bring to life the coastlines and seas that were navigated during this era of exploration.
