EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of a map depicting the English Colonies in the Caribbean during the 18th century. The specific areas highlighted are St. Kitts, Antigua, and Bermuda, three enchanting islands that played significant roles in the history of colonization. The intricate engraving, executed by an anonymous German artist from Homanns Heirs in Nuremberg around 1750, transports us back to a time when these islands were bustling hubs of trade and exploration. The map's fine details capture our imagination as we envision ships sailing across turquoise waters towards these idyllic destinations. St. Kitts, with its lush greenery and pristine beaches, is showcased alongside Antigua's picturesque coastline dotted with charming settlements. Meanwhile, Bermuda's distinctive shape stands out against the vast expanse of ocean surrounding it. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of Johann Baptist Homann's legacy as one of the most renowned cartographers of his time. His meticulous attention to detail shines through in every line and contour depicted on this engraving. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us an opportunity to delve into the rich history and cultural significance associated with these remarkable Caribbean islands.
