There are a number of interesting historical and geographical notes on this map of the Caribbean. The map extends north to the Bahamas and the tip of southern Florida and encompasses the eastern shore of the Yucatan, parts of Central America, Panama and the northwest coast of South America. Between Florida and Cuba and the Bahamas, a reference to the Gulf Stream notes that is always flows north. Engraved by Herman van Loon with a handsome title cartouche and a small central compass rose. This example is accompanied by the corresponding sheet of descriptive text.
