This handsome small map of the Lesser Antilles was created to identify the English, French, Spanish, Dutch and Danish possessions. The map extends from the eastern half of Hispaniola to Trinidad, and as far west as Curacao. Grenada is depicted in an odd crescent shape. The seas are filled with arrows representing the water currents. Published in the March 1759 issue.
