A very handsome chart of the Caribbean with fine detail and delicate coloring. Chart extends from the Bahamas through the Caribbean Islands and Trinidad to Columbia. The vignettes are beautifully engraved by J. Rogers after the art of H. Warren. The main vignette is "Kingston, Jamaica from the Commercial Rooms," plus three clipper ships anchored offshore, a small engraving of a native couple, and a coin. The vignettes and borders are uncolored, as issued.
