EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures the beauty and intricacy of the Mediterranean archipelago Rhodes Island as surveyed under the direction of Com'r T Graves RN HMS 'Beacon' in 1841. The detailed chart, created by J. & C. Walker in the 19th century, showcases the island's geography with precision and artistry.
The scale of 1:97,000 allows viewers to appreciate the topography and layout of Rhodes Island, while two insets and one view provide additional context for this historical map. Extending 13 cm from the left-hand side, this engraving offers a comprehensive look at one of Greece's most iconic islands.
As part of a collection at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this engraving is a testament to the skill and dedication of its creators. The collaboration between HM Admiralty as publisher, J. & C. Walker as engravers, Com'r T Graves as surveyor, and T. Spratt Mate RN as surveyor resulted in a work that continues to captivate audiences over a century later.
Whether you are an enthusiast of cartography or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print of Rhodes Island is sure to inspire awe and admiration for both the island itself and those who meticulously documented its features so many years ago.
