18th Century Antique Map of the Virgin Islands and Caribbean Inset Maps
About the Item
A fascinating piece of cartographic history! The map, titled "Carte du supplément pour les Isles Antilles," featuring inset maps of various islands in the Caribbean, is from the "Atlas Encyclopedique" by Rigobert Bonne and Nicolas Desmarest.
Rigobert Bonne (1727–1795) was a French cartographer known for his precise and detailed maps, while Nicolas Desmarest (1725–1815) was a French geographer and cartographer. Their collaboration resulted in the "Atlas Encyclopedique," a comprehensive atlas that included maps covering various regions of the world.
The map, with its insets of islands such as St. Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada, and Tobago, provides a glimpse into the geography of the Caribbean during the late 18th century. Maps from this period are not only aesthetically beautiful but also serve as valuable historical documents, shedding light on the exploration and understanding of the world at that time.
Given its age and historical significance, this antique map is likely to be of interest to collectors, historians, or enthusiasts of cartography and Caribbean history.

- Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'Located in Philadelphia, PAA fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...Category
