About the Item
Map of the West India Islands and Central America – Colorful 1903 Engraving
This vibrant engraved map, titled "West India Islands and Central America," was created by Keith Johnston, F.R.G.S., and published by W. & A.K. Johnston, Limited, Edinburgh & London, in 1903. The map offers a detailed depiction of the Caribbean region and Central America at the dawn of the 20th century, skillfully blending geographic accuracy with artistic charm.
The map captures the entire Caribbean basin, stretching from the southern tip of Florida to the shores of South America. It includes the major islands of Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Lesser Antilles, and parts of Central America like the Yucatán Peninsula, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Intricately engraved lines represent the coastlines, rivers, and mountain ranges, while soft pastel color washes highlight the different political regions, adding clarity and elegance to the visual composition.
An essential feature is the precise labeling of key cities, settlements, and natural landmarks, reflecting the colonial influences and strategic importance of these islands. The map also delineates ocean currents, islands, and smaller cays that were crucial for trade, navigation, and exploration in this era.
This piece stands out not only for its visual appeal but also for its historical significance, marking a time of shifting colonial powers and growing global trade across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. T
The condition of this antique map is excellent, with vibrant color retention, clear typography, and minimal wear along the edges.
For framing, a dark wood or sleek black frame with a neutral mat would elegantly complement the delicate engravings and vibrant colors, making this map a striking addition to a study, library, or coastal home. It’s a compelling artifact of exploration and trade routes that shaped the modern Caribbean and Central America, offering a rich narrative for collectors, historians, or anyone fascinated by the region’s dynamic history.
