Item Details
Description
  • Title: 1756 Philippines Coastline Map by English Pirate G. Anson
  • Date/Period: 1756
  • Materials: Copper plate engraved
  • Size: 28 x 21 1/2?

    This detailed map of the Philippine coastline, created by the English pirate George Anson, is one of the largest and most accurate maps of the island nation's coastline to be produced at the time. It is also the only nation shown in its entirety in Anson's work. The map shows the route of the Manila Galleons, with a compass and rhumb lines. It was published in London in 1756 as part of Anson's book 'A Voyage Round the World', considered one of the greatest first-hand accounts of circumnavigation, adventure, and piracy from the age of exploration. Anson's mission was to attack Spanish territories in western South America and capture and plunder Spanish treasure galleons. Despite losing more than two-thirds of his crew and three of his eight ships, he succeeded in capturing the larger and better-armed Spanish treasure galleon 'Nuestra Seniora de Cobadonga' off Cape Espiritu Santo, Samar Island, Philippines in 1743. He was later promoted to Lord of the British Crown and became one of the top English commanders during the Seven Years' War. The map is a copper engraved, measures 28 x 21 1/2 inches, and is in excellent condition. Its authenticity is guaranteed.
