EDITORS COMMENTS
This map, published in Paris around 1731, offers a glimpse into the complex history of the Caribbean islands during the 18th century. The map's primary focus is on the island of Hispaniola, which was then known as San Domingo and was divided between the French and Spanish colonies. Haiti, the western part of the island, is depicted as the French colony, while the eastern part, now known as the Dominican Republic, is shown as the Spanish territory. The map's title, "Histoire de l'Isle Saint-Domingue," reflects the French interest in the island, which was a significant source of wealth due to its lucrative sugar plantations. The Jesuits, a prominent Roman Catholic missionary order, played a significant role in the colonization and evangelization of the island, as evidenced by the presence of their missions marked on the map. Surrounding Hispaniola are other notable Caribbean islands, including Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and Puerto Rico. The map's intricate detail and accurate depiction of the islands' geography reflect the advanced cartographic techniques of the time. This map provides a fascinating window into the colonial history of the Caribbean, showcasing the complex political and religious landscape of the region during the 18th century. Its intricate detail and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection focused on travel, colonialism, or the history of the Americas.
