This hand-coloured print, titled "Trading map of the West Indies, 1707" offers a captivating glimpse into the world of navigation and cartography in the 18th century. Created by an English School artist, this meticulously detailed map showcases the vast expanse of the West Indies region, stretching from Central America to South America. The map is part of Samuel Thornton's sea-atlas, which provides hydrographical descriptions of various coastlines around the world. It serves as a valuable resource for sailors and traders seeking accurate information about sea routes and trade opportunities. With its vibrant colors and intricate illustrations, this print invites viewers to explore not only the islands of the Caribbean but also adjacent bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico and Bay of Mexico. The presence of major landmarks like North America and South America further emphasizes the significance of these trading routes during that era.
