    Original large-format nautical chart of the Guadeloupe Islands, including Grande-Terre, Basse-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Désirade, and the archipelagos of Iles des Saintes and Iles de la Petite Terre.
    It is titled
    Carte Réduite de la Guadeloupe et Dépendances,
    and the image area measures a generous 63.5 x 89 cm [25" x 35"]. Longitude is measured from Paris.
    There are inset plans of the harbors of Grand-Bourg on Marie-Galante and Pointe-à-Pitre on Grande-Terre, along with a compass rose and five elevations depicting land forms as they would appear to approaching mariners.
    The map was published under the authority of Admiral Marie Henri Daniel Gauthier, Count de Rigny, and drawn by Captain H. A. Friesz in 1831.
