EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing a detailed map of Jamaica's Port Royal before it was devastated by an earthquake in 1692. The image is derived from Edward Barlow's Journal, offering valuable insights into the colonial era and the art of cartography during that time. The map itself is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Barlow, highlighting various elements crucial for navigation and exploration. From intricate illustrations of sailing ships gracefully gliding through the harbor to delicate representations of animals and sealife along the coastline, every detail tells a story waiting to be unraveled. As we delve deeper into this studio shot, we can almost feel transported back in time. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate each stroke of Barlow's brush as he meticulously captured every river, bay, and transportation route with utmost precision. Handwritten annotations further enhance our understanding of this historical document. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a wealth of knowledge about Jamaica's geography and maritime significance during colonial times. This print serves as both a visual delight for enthusiasts interested in exploring history through maps and an invaluable resource for researchers studying early cartography techniques
