Title:
The Bahamas.
Description:
This is a 1990 Government of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas pictorial map of The Bahamas. The map depicts the archipelago from Florida to the Atlantic Ocean and from Walker's Cay to Great Inagua. Vibrantly colored and beautifully illustrated, the atmosphere of a tropical paradise exudes from this piece. Tourists are illustrated lounging on the beach, snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming with dolphins, while locals are seen playing music and fishing. The incredible wildlife and sea life that inhabits the islands are featured, with birds, such as an egret, a hummingbird, and a flock of flamingos illustrated on some of the islands, while several different species of fish occupy the spaces in between the islands. Each of the islands is labeled, including New Providence, Andros, and Grand Bahama, and cities, such as Nassau, and towns are labeled throughout. A smiling illustration of the sun situated in the upper right corner looks over all of paradise and bathes the islands in its rays, which are so bright even the sun is wearing sunglasses!

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.
