This attractive map of the islands of the Caribbean extends to show the parts of the United States and Mexico that border the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, and the northern coastline of South America. Routes of several explorers are shown, including Cortez, Ponce de Leon, and Hernandez de Cordova, along with many coastal place names. A delicately engraved rococo-style title cartouche fills the upper right. Dutch title at bottom: Kaart van de Golf van Mexico, en van de Amerikaaanse Eilanden. Engraved by Van Schley.
