Description:

| Beautiful copper-engraved chart of Cuba with a decorative cartouche depicting Bacchus, the god of wine and fertility. The map also shows the Cayman Islands, the tip of Florida, and the southern Bahamas. Cuba's cities are marked and coastal details are labeled, but little other interior detail is provided.[WIND3842] |
