A nice pair of maps from Fielding Lucas.
1) Porto Rico is a topographical map showing the mountains, rivers and bays. The only settlement named is San Juan de Porto Rico, and a small island on the southern coast is named the Casa de Muertos or the Dead Chest. The map is decorated with a simple compass rose and an attractive title block. (12.4 x 8.75")
2) Peru is elegantly engraved with numerous cities and towns located. The topography is well defined. (9.4 x 11.25")
