A lovely map that includes portions of Isle de la Desirade and Marie Galante Isle. The map has a crisp impression, and shows good coastal detail with dozens of rivers, large shoals and several forts and churches. The interior is mostly blank, but for the central mountains. Embellished with a beautiful compass rose and an elegant drape-style title cartouche. Single distance scale.
