EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print showcases a captivating "Map of Bermuda (colour engraving)" by an English School artist. The map, dating back to the 17th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the island's rich history and geography. The Map of Bermuda depicts the archipelago known as the Somer Islands or Bermudas, situated in the Caribbean Sea. It highlights various significant locations such as Southampton Harbour and Virginia, emphasizing their importance during that era. Created by Richard Norwood between 1590-1675, this particular version is believed to have been owned by the adventurers who invested in Bermuda's development. Divided into eight tribes including Hamilton, Smith, Devonshire, Pembroke, Pagets, Warwick, Southampton, and Sandys - each named after prominent figures - it reflects early settlement patterns on the island. Engraved with meticulous precision by Abraham Goos in 1626 – not to be confused with any commercial use – this map also features a beautifully crafted cartouche that adds elegance to its overall design. With its intricate details and historical significance encompassing both cartography and geographic exploration of Bermuda at that time period; this print serves as a valuable piece for art enthusiasts seeking glimpses into past civilizations.
