1817 John Thomson's Handcolored Antique Map of St. Kitts, Nevis, and St. Lucia
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an antique map depicting the islands of St. Kitts (St. Christopher's) and Nevis in the West Indies, along with a smaller inset map of St. Lucia. The main map focuses on St. Kitts, with detailed topographical features such as mountain ranges, volcanic peaks, and plantation areas indicated by cross-hatching and stippling. The coastline is meticulously outlined, with bays and capes labeled. The island of Nevis appears in a smaller inset on the right, detailed in a similar fashion with its own unique landscape features. The inset of St. Lucia at the bottom left shows the rugged terrain of the island, including its mountains and natural harbors. Each island's map is framed within its own neat line border, with a title block for identification. The map appears to be hand-colored, a common practice of the time for high-quality maps, which emphasizes the land against the sea. Pink shading outlines the islands, while green tones likely represent lower elevations and yellow tones for higher elevations. The condition of the map suggests it has been well-preserved, with the paper maintaining its integrity and the colors remaining vivid. There are signs of aging, such as slight discoloration and possible foxing, but these are typical for documents of this era and do not significantly detract from the visual appeal or the information presented. This map would have been an important navigational aid for sailors and a source of geographic knowledge for those interested in the West Indies during the period it was made. The craftsmanship and detail also make it a fine example of cartographic art...
