This lot of three maps by Joseph Lemercier features different views of the island of Cuba with place names in Italian including:
A. [Untitled] (7.3 x 10.3"). Shows the island in an almost pictorial manner, identifying farmland, mountains, forests and towns. East is oriented at top.
B. [Untitled] (9.4 x 13.5"). Includes three maps on one sheet, all of which show the entire island and emphasize the rugged terrain along the coastline and inland. Settlements are identified along the coast.
C. [Untitled] (14.4 x 8.3"). Two maps on one sheet. The top portion of the sheet shows the coastline around Havana and Havana Harbor along the northern coast of the island. A few soundings and an anchorage in the harbor are noted. The bottom portion of the sheet shows the entire island with major settlements noted.
