This is a superb map of the Lesser Antilles covering the islands from Guadeloupe to Grenada. The map was based on Delisle's map of the region as evidenced by its depiction of Grenada up-side-down. A large inset map provides excellent detail of Martinique showing the island divided between the French colonial settlements and the Barbari Habitant.
