This charming small sheet includes maps of several Caribbean islands. The map of Cuba is positioned above Hispaniola with smaller insets of Havana, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Margarita Island. Although this plate was first used in 1628, by 1630 a crack had formed in the right border and the bottom right corner had broken off, both visible in this example. This plate was replaced in 1648 with a newly engraved plate. French text on verso.

References: Van der Krogt (Vol. III) #9610:352A.

Condition: A

A nice impression on a bright sheet with minor marginal soiling.

Estimate: $200 - $230

Sold for: $160
