EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century drawing, titled "Views of the Cape de Verd Islands, Sirius, June 1787. Island of Sall [and] Island of Bonavista [and] Island of Mayo," is an exquisite example of the detailed and captivating work of British naval officer and artist, George Raper. Dated between 1768 and 1797, this illustration offers a breathtaking outside perspective of three islands in the Cape Verde archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean. The rocky terrain and rugged coastlines of the islands of Sall, Bonavista, and Mayo are depicted with remarkable accuracy and intricacy. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the islands are calm and serene, reflecting the bright blue sky above. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, bathing the islands in a golden light. Raper's skillful use of shading and perspective creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the viewer feel as if they are right there on the islands, taking in the breathtaking views. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the vegetation, buildings, and even the individual waves on the shoreline. This illustration is a testament to Raper's talent as an artist and his ability to capture the beauty and majesty of the natural world. It is a valuable historical record of the Cape Verde Islands during the 18th century and a visual delight for anyone with an appreciation for the art of seascapes and island landscapes.
