This handsome small map of the island of St. Kitts shows the island divided into French and British regions, although the French were expelled from the island in 1702. The mountainous topography is dramatically illustrated, and several forts and small towns are identified. A compass rose orients north to the top left of the map. This example appeared in the 1724 edition of Labat's Nouveau Voyage aux Isles de L'Amerique, published by P. Husson in The Hague.
