Plan of the British Settlement at Puerto de la Cruzada | Alejo Berlinguero | 1770
Taxes incluses
A sheltered inlet, the surrounding coastline and an English settlement are described through fine line, washes of colour and carefully placed labels. Sailing ships animate the water, while a large explanatory cartouche anchors the composition at the left. Decorative elements and practical coastal detail coexist across the sheet, giving the harbour plan both documentary and pictorial interest. Berlinguero’s 1770 drawing records the area identified on the original as Puerto de la Cruzada, on Isla Trinidad, preserving the language and visual conventions of its historical setting.
