Description:
|
|
| This rare map of Barbados is the earliest printed map of the island. It names the owners of all of the principal houses and estates, and is decorated with vignettes of armoured riders, camels, wild pigs, and sea monsters. Though crude, this map's importance to the history of Barbados cannot be overstated. [WIND4153] |
