This is a splendid and very scarce map that covers all the West Indies, including the Bahamas, and the southern tip of Florida. The partnership of Coronelli and Nolin produced some the best regional maps of the Americas of the period. The map provides an excellent view of the islands, banks and shoals. The large decorative title cartouche incorporates an extensive key.
