Map of Panama 1699 - Historical Map

Mapa do Panama de 1699"A Draft of the Golden & Adjacent Islands, with Part of ye Isthmus of Darien... [on sheet with] A New Map of ye Isthmus of Darien in America, the Bay of Panama, the Gulph of Vallona or St. Michael...", Hacke, William (Capt.) Dois mapas numa folha. O mapa superior mostra a costa norte do Panamá com parte das Ilhas San Blas e apresenta a colónia de curta duração de Nova Edimburgo. A Companhia da Escócia estabeleceu esta malfadada colónia comercial na costa de Darien, no Panamá, em 1698. A colónia estava bem localizada, com um bom porto, mas no espaço de um ano falhou devido a uma doença devastadora e ao ataque de galeões espanhóis. O fracasso do Esquema de Darien (como ficou conhecido) contribuiu grandemente para a paralisação de toda a economia escocesa, que acabou por levar à dissolução do Parlamento escocês e ao Ato de União com a Inglaterra de 1707. O mapa inferior, atribuído a Hacke e Robert Morden, mostra todo o istmo do Panamá com parte da Costa Rica e da Colômbia. Ambos os mapas foram finamente gravados por Herman Moll com linhas de rumo, rosas de compasso, navios à vela, sondagens e cartelas decorativas. Esta é a rara primeira edição. — Map of Panama from 1699 “A Draft of the Golden & Adjacent Islands, with Part of ye Isthmus of Darien… [on sheet with] A New Map of ye Isthmus of Darien in America, the Bay of Panama, the Gulph of Vallona or St Michael…”, Hacke, William (Capt.) Two maps on one sheet. The upper map shows the northern coast of Panama with part of the San Blas Islands and the short-lived colony of New Edinburgh. The Company of Scotland established this ill-fated trading colony off the coast of Darien in Panama in 1698. The colony was well located, with a good harbour, but within a year it failed due to a devastating disease and the attack of Spanish galleons. The failure of the Darien Scheme (as it became known) contributed greatly to the paralysis of the entire Scottish economy, which eventually led to the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament and the Act of Union with England in 1707. The lower map, attributed to Hacke and Robert Morden, shows the entire isthmus of Panama with parts of Costa Rica and Colombia. Both maps are finely engraved by Herman Moll with rhumb lines, compass roses, sailing ships, soundings and decorative cartouches. This is a rare first edition.
