Title:
Charte von der Insel Guadeloupe.
Description:
This is an 1822 Franz Pluth map of Guadeloupe. An island in the Caribbean, Guadeloupe is actually an overseas region and department of France. The map depicts both of Guadeloupe's two main islands: Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. Numerous locations throughout the two islands are labeled, including Pointe-a-Pitre and the capital, Basse Terre, as well as locations along the islands' coasts. The island's active volcano, called
La Souffrière
, located on Basse-Terre, is illustrated in profile. An inset map of St. Lucia is situated in the lower right corner, with numerous coastal locations labeled.
This map was produced by Franz Pluth and published in 1822.

1. FedEx Overnight (45 USD). USA Only. Signature Required.
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.
