Lot 278: Nuova e Corretta Carta dell' Indie Occidentali Cavata Dalle Migliori Autorita

This attractive and uncommon Italian map of the West Indies covers the region from the Carolinas south to the Oronoco River in South America. There is good detail of the islands and coastlines, with the southern tip of Florida being depicted as a series of islands. A key in the Pacific Ocean identifies which islands in the Caribbean are owned by the English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Danish and which are "neutral" islands.
