Antique Dutch View of Acapulco Harbor in Mexico

Item Details

Description

Title/Content of Map: Antique Dutch View of Acapulco Harbor in Mexico

Date Printed: 1724

Cartographer: Valentijn, Francois

Size (in): 14 x 11

Fascinating antique panoramic view of the harbor of Acapulco, Mexico ("Aquapulco") from the early eighteenth century. This copperplate-engraved view has a legend at bottom left corner keyed to six locations on the scene. This colorful old view of the Acapulco area is by Francois Valentijn (or Valentyn) from 'Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien' published from Amsterdam in 1724 by Joannes van Braam. Valentijn ( 1666–1727 ) was a Dutch minister and naturalist who worked in the East Indies for the V.O.C. (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie). It is likely that Valentijn's access to V.O.C. maps and documents provided much source material for the eight volumes with over one thousand engravings. However, the basis for this relief map of Acapulco is an earlier watercolor by Dutch artist Johannes Vingboons who derived his work from drawings made in New Spain by Juan Go´mez de Trasmonte and Adrian Boot before 1628. Two interesting graphical elements are the compass atop the title block at left which gives the orientation of the site and also in the far right bottom corner is a barely visible image of a woodsman with axe, removing a limb from the tall tree.
