EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The West-India Islands, 1794-1801" takes us on a visual journey through the Caribbean during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The intricate details of this map, created by Thomas Jefferys, a renowned English cartographer of the time, transport us back to an era when navigational equipment was essential for exploration and trade. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to each island depicted, from Central America all the way up to North America. With no people present in the image, our focus is solely on the geography itself - every contour and coastline meticulously rendered. Jefferys' expert hand tinting adds depth and richness to his work. The delicate lettering throughout provides valuable information about each location while showcasing his artistic skill. This particular print captures not only the beauty of these islands but also serves as an important historical document. As we examine this close-up view of "The West-India Islands" we are reminded of its significance as a survey tool for sailors and explorers during that period. Its detailed representation allows us to appreciate both its artistic value as well as its practical purpose. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, ensuring that it continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail and historical importance.
