A View of Cumberland Bay at the Island of Juan Fernandes Lord George ANSON 1749

Description: A View of Cumberland Bay at the Island of Juan Fernandes Lord George ANSON 1749 A View of Cumberland Bay at the Island of Juan Fernandes, (present day Chile) by Lord George ANSON 1749, from book "A Voyage Round the World in the Years 1740-1744". This is a beautiful original English Old Master copper engraving of a topographical depiction of the bay of Cumberland, Juan Fernandez Island with British ships in bay. This engraving was done by Lord George Anson during his travels and is featured in his book "A Voyage Round the World in the Years 1740-1744", with this being the 5th edition and published in 1749. The account of Anson's circumnavigation of the world is considered a "masterpiece of descriptive travel" and was the "most popular book of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century" (Hill). Anson's voyage inspired many British explorations in the Pacific, including that of Captain Cook. Anson's trip was strictly a military enterprise, though, its intent to disrupt Spanish commerce (essentially a British Pirate). At the beginning of a war with Spain, Anson's eight ships started out with the intention of harassing the Spanish on the west coast of South America. Seven ships were lost around Cape Horn, leading to the deaths of 600 out of 900 men. While the expedition was mostly a disaster, they did capture the Manila Galleon near China so that Anson and the surviving members of his crew reached England much richer.
