Map of the 18th century Spanish territories of New Spain and New Mexico together with islands of the Caribbean. Accurate coastlines and good delineation of the rivers along the Texas coast. Named cities include Taos, Albuquerque and Santa Fe in New Mexico, and St. Augustine and Pensacola in Florida. Florida has mountains, and in contrast with earlier, more accurate representations, its southern tip is split up into a group of islands. Baja California is shown as a peninsula, but its width is exaggerated. The map includes an inset of the Azores next to attractive etched cartouche by Arrivet.Original outline colour,Mint condition. |
