Very decorative map of Bermuda with a large cartouche depicting Neptune with mermaids, sea monsters and cherubs, two coats of arms, a compass rose, rhomb lines and a pictorial scale of miles with natives and Europeans. The island is divided among various "Tribes" with a table at bottom detailing the divisions. Close, but adequate, margins - as issued. Evenly toned, with expert repair on centerfold in the table at bottom. Very crisp impression.
