(Caribbean) A New Map of the West India Isles...,
A dense and strong engraving for the Caribbean spanning a large distance, including the souther US in a territorial configuration with Georgia and Florida reaching to the Mississippi River. While addressing the towns, islands, hydrography and even general terrain, it still has a nice primitive appeal. The hand color throughout is coded to associate European colonial possession, red is British, yellow is Spanish, etc.
Condition is very good with some subtle even toning from age, and very faint offsetting. Image size 18.25 x 20.5, outline hand color
