A spectacular, large-scale chart of the Gulf of Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean printed on two separate sheets and joined. The map is extremely detailed, and filled with information on coastal features, soundings, shoals and hazards. It extends to Central America and the northern tip of South America. The colonial possessions are denoted in color: pink for the British, yellow for the Spanish, and green for the French. The title is surrounded with a well-engraved cartouche comprised of items relating to the trade in the region. An uncommon map.
