"St. Lucia", Lucas, Fielding

This is the first commercial map of St. Lucia to be published in the United States. It is based on John Thompson's map. There is fine topographical detail inland, with place names largely confined to the coasts. Engraved by B.T. Welch & Co.

Fielding Lucas, Jr. was a successful cartographer and map publisher in Baltimore. Lucas is best known for his General Atlas of 1823, which is considered one of the finest general atlases produced in the U.S. at the time, due to the high quality paper, superior engraving quality, and attractive coloring style.
