EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detailed representation of the Bahamas islands, northern Hispaniola (Santo Domingo), and the Leewind Passage between Cuba and Hispaniola in the West Indies.

The intricate engraving showcases the beauty and complexity of these Caribbean islands during the 18th century. The map provides a glimpse into the geographical features and topography of this region, offering valuable insights into navigation and exploration during that era.
