A very interesting folio sheet containing seven maps inset into panels of French text. The largest map (9 x 5.7") titled, "Carte de la Jamaique Nouvelle..." shows the island in great detail and includes a large inset of the Gulf of Mexico and West Indies. The other maps illustrate Barbados, Bermuda and the British colonies in North America (in four regional maps). Together these maps cover all of the regions colonized by the English at the early part of the 18th century.
