An uncommon pair of maps on one sheet, showing the results of the Treaty of Paris in the Caribbean, which ended the French and Indian War in 1763. The bottom of the map shows the Caribbean with a key above indicating islands ceded by France to Great Britain, conquered by Britain and restored to France, conquered by Britain and restored to Spain, and neutral islands ceded to France. The port of Havana, which was captured by the British in 1762, is charted at the top of the sheet with north oriented to the left.
