This uncommon German edition of Bellin's map of Grenada was published in 1780 in the third volume of Christoph H. Korn's Geschichte der Kriege in und Ausser Europa. Grenada is divided into its administrative divisions and villages, churches, watershed, and topography are shown. Many features are named along the coastline. Unlike other Bellin maps of the island, it extends coverage to the Grenadines, which appear here alongside the island. Below the title are several sailing ships and a distance scale. "Nro. 142" above the neatline at top right.
