This is a very rare English chart of the Gulf of Mexico. It covers the Gulf coast with all of Florida to Cabo Rojo in Mexico, and includes part of the Yucatan and Cuba. The Mississippi delta is severely misplaced along the western border of the map. Florida appears in an unusual boxy shape. Charles Price was an English mapmaker whose works were nearly all collaborative efforts in a succession of ill-fated partnerships that were not commercially successful. Thus his maps are rarely found on the market today. There are no sales records for this map in the past 28 years.
