"Description des Plantes, Arbres, Animaux & Poissons des Iles Antilles, avec les Moeurs des Sauvages qui s'y Trouvent, et la Maniere dont on Fait le Sucre", Chatelain, Henry Abraham

This very boldly engraved sheet shows the commodities, natives and animals of the Antilles. The papayas, pineapples, peppers, bananas, peanuts and other useful plants are noted, and opossums, crocodiles, and wild boar are described as well. Other views show the houses of the workers and how they make sugar and indigo. Includes a panel of fish showing several sharks, dorado, bonito, and a manatee.
