This map of Barbados was originally created by John Thornton and William Fisher with the title The Iland of Barbados and published in 1689. The map appeared in a number of different editions of The English Pilot, the Fourth Book, with later editions omitting the title and setting the engraving within the text. The land approach view of the island below the map changed significantly over the years and can be used to identify the edition in which the map was published. On a full sheet of English text measuring 12.0 x 18.9".
