notes:
These animals were observed around the Juan Fernández Islands off the coast of Chile. A species of fur seal native to the area is now endangered; even Shelvocke noted how few remained after his men had slaughtered many during their calving season.The engraver may be John Pine (1690-1756), chief engraver of seals and compiler of an eighteenth-century survey of London.Between 1718 and 1722, George Shelvocke completed the last of the English buccaneer circumnavigations. His account has achieved a place in literary history for its story of the unlucky albatross, immortalized by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
