PHILIPPINES-SAMALES GROUP
738. Croquis de la Ysla de Balanguingui y sus adyacentes en el Archipielago de Joló....[Philippines]. Espejo, J. [after 1848]. Colored pen-and-ink ms., 52 x 71 cm. Scale ca. 1:21,300. (Maggs purchase map collection; 305). 90-680732.
This finely rendered campaign map of islands in the Samales Group in the Sulu Archipelago documents the February 1848 Spanish naval attack on the island of Balanguingui. In the 1840's, the Spanish government in the Philippines had entered into a series of treaties related to trade and allegiance with Muslim rulers in the southern islands. When these treaties were broken by the Muslim leaders, Spanish Governor General, Narciso Clavería, organized a naval expedition that left Manila on February 9, 1848 to attack Muslim strongholds on Balanguingui (especially those at Sipac, Sungap, and Balanguingui). As a result of that successful campaign, Spain strengthened its authority over the region. Map includes coastlines, coastal features, soundings, various categories of Spanish and Muslim vessels, and settlements; also includes detailed pictorial representation of island vegetation and a panoramic profile view: "Vista del fuerte de Sipac". Map contains a brief note on the naval situation on the day when Fort Sipac surrendered. For more information on this event and on Philippine history, see Antonio M. Molina, Historia de Filipinas (Madrid: Ediciones Cultura Hispanica del Instituto de Cooperacion Iberoamericana, 1984) 2 vols. This map is part of the G&M Division's collection from the Real Escuela de Navegación, Cadiz, Spain purchased from Maggs Brothers, London.

Spain maintained administrative and military control of the Philippines from Magellan (1521) until the Spanish American War (1898). This map was prepared following the expedition directed by the governor Narciso Clavería against rebellious moros of Balanguingui who had taken more than 200 captives during the revolt. This map from the collection of the Real Escuela de Navegación de Cádiz is part of a unique collection of nearly 400 manuscript maps and charts of various parts of the Hispanic world acquired by the Library of Congress from Maggs Brothers, London in the 1920s.
