Autorenporträt

John Pinkerton (1758-1826) was a Scottish antiquarian, cartographer, and historian, now most remembered for his substantial contributions to the collection and systematization of historical documents and his efforts in the field of cartography. With a diligent passion for history, Pinkerton's scholarly work encompassed a wide range of geographical and historical subjects. His penchant for meticulous research is evident in 'Early Australian Voyages: Pelsart, Tasman, Dampier', a thorough compilation and analysis of pivotal Dutch and English explorations within the Australian region, which has served as a significant resource for scholars of maritime history and exploration (Pinkerton, 1808-1814). Pinkerton's literary style is characterized by a didactic tone and comprehensive approach to subjects, often underlaid with his personal commentary on the motives and impact of historical figures. While his views sometimes reflected the biases of his era, his work remains a cornerstone in the bibliographic and cartographic documentation of historical voyages. Pinkerton's legacy extends beyond authorship to the immense contributions he made as an editor and compiler of a vast quantity of geographical knowledge during the late Enlightenment period.
