Description:
A beautiful example of Zannoni's 1762 map of the West Indies, Florida and Central America. Covers from the Gulf of Mexico to the Lesser Antilles including all of the West Indies, Florida and Central America, with parts of Louisiana, Mexico and northern South America. In essence a nautical chart, this map has little inland detail and is crisscrossed with both rumb lines and lines of latitude and longitude. Coastal cities, rivers and ports are named throughout. Also shows numerous shoals, reefs, and other offshore dangers. Southern Florida is rendered as an archipelago in a primitive attempt to describe the everglades. Drawn by A. Zannoni in 1762 for issue as plate no. 34 in Jean Lattre's 1783 issue of the
Atlas Moderne

2. FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (15 USD). USA Only. 1 - 10 days. If your address is a P.O. Box and cannot ship FedEx we will ship USPS Priority and, while we ship promptly, recent postal personnel cutbacks mean that delivery may take time. Signature Required.

Customs:
International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
Insurance:
All shipments are insured privately against loss and damage. All of our shipments require a signature for insurance purposes.
