This interesting chart covers Florida and the region as far north as Savannah. West Florida extends to the Mississippi River. It shows the entire peninsula as an archipelago that is heavily fragmented with numerous large waterways that communicate between the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean. Tampa Bay is here named Bahia del Espiritu Santo. The map also shows the keys and extends to include las Tortugas. Rococo-style title cartouche, distance scale with British Statute Miles, and simple compass rose with fleur-de-lys decorate the map. This map is very similar to one of the same title that was issued in the London Magazine in 1765. Engraved by J. Prockter.

Condition Description: Issued folding with light scattered foxing.

Ref: Seller & Van Ee #1620; cf Jolly LOND-243.
