1781 Bonne Map of Guadeloupe, West Indies

Description

1781 Bonne Map - Les Isles de la Guadeloupe
Rigobert Bonne was the fortunate successor to J.N. Bellin as the official hydrographer/chartmaker to the French navy and, like his predecessor, used the position for furtherance of his private atlas publications. Both Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde' of 1780-81 and the 'Atlas Encyclopaedique' of 1787-88 owe much to the massive map resources of the French naval ministry. This map is from Raynal's 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du Monde'.
This attractive map of Guadeloupe shows the islands Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, La Desirade, Les Saintes and Marie Galante. The map has very good detail noting harbours, towns and settlements, nautical information and rivers and mountains.  The map has a scale of distance.
The map measures 9" by 13" with a centrefold (as issued), has wash hand colouring, and is in good condition.
.
The engraving is guaranteed to be over 230 years old.
