La Jamaique aux Anglois dans le Golfe du Mexique., La Bermude aux Anglois.

The sheet contains two maps, Jamaica above Bermuda. Jamaica is engraved to show the plantations, denoting those growing sugar, cotton, cacao, and indigo.

The map of Bermuda includes an interesting cartographic error resulting from the copying John Speed's map of 1627.

In that map, Bermuda was superimposed over a map of the coastline of New England and Virginia to show the relative position of Bermuda. Here, the coastlines of North America are gone, but the small depiction of an additional Bermuda remains, which appears on this map as a small offshore island named Bermudos.

Map taken from the "Introduction a la Geographie" published from 1747 and 1756, printed in "Paris, chez l'Auteur, Prault le fils, la Veuve Robinot, 1756".

The work, which the author defines as "Atlas Nouveau Portatif à l'Usage des Militaires et du Voyageur", contains 86 maps.

Copperplate with original outline colour, very good conditions.
