"Carte des Antilles Francoises et des Isles Voisines Dressee sur les Memoires Manuscrits...", Delisle, Guillaume

This beautiful chart is the first state of Delisle's map of the Antilles that extends from Guadeloupe to Grenada and includes Barbados. Numerous place names are shown, as are the locations of forts, churches, rivers and more. The most remarkable feature is the upside-down depiction of Grenada. The chart is centered on a large compass rose.
