The London Magazine was the source of some of the most important and elegant maps and views of colonial America. This very attractively designed chart includes Jamaica and the Bahamas has original wash coloring, most unusual for a magazine map. With rococo-style title cartouche and large compass rose with rhumb lines. The tracks of galleons from Carthagena to Havana and the track of the Galleons off the Florida coast and "Homeward Bound" are noted. The depiction of southern Florida with many inland waterways is typical of the time. The inset is a detailed "Plan of the Harbour and town of Havana, taken on the spot by an officer of the Navy." Published in the October 1762 issue. A very interesting and decorative map in exceptional condition.
