WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS
Title:
West Indies.
Description:
This is an 1828 Anthony Finley map of the West Indies and Caribbean. The map depicts the Greater and Lesser Antilles as well as the Bahamas and portions of the Spanish Main from southern Florida to Colombia and from Cuba and Nicaragua (the 'Mosquito Shore') to Barbados and the rest of the Lesser Antilles. All of the islands are colored according to their European colonizers. Cities, forts, bays, rivers, roads, and some topographical features are illustrated. In the Bahamas, Finley identifies 'Guanaham' or 'Cat Isle,' the first land in the Americas to be sighted by Columbus.
This map was engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1828 edition of Anthony Finley's
General Atlas

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.
