"Carte de l'Isle de Saint Domingue Dressee en 1722 pour l'Usage du Roy sur les Memoires de Mr. Frezier Ingenieur de S. M. et Autres...", Delisle, Guillaume

This is an important map of Hispaniola and the Turks & Caicos Islands as it was one of the first to depict the island's true contours following Frezier's important map of the island. The chart provides excellent detail of the mountains, roads, towns, ports, plantations, sugar works and navigational hazards. Decorated with a large title cartouche. Although the title indicates that the map was created in 1722, it was first published in 1725. This is the second state with "Mars" (March) removed from the date. Engraved by Marin.
