Rare and beautifully engraved chart focusing on the West Indies and covering the region from Chesapeake Bay through the Gulf of Mexico, with Central America and the northern part of South America. The map includes very good coastline detail. A pictorial title cartouche fills the interior of North America and shows Native Americans trading with Europeans and a small view of Havana harbor in the background. The chart is further enhanced with compass roses and rhumb lines.
