Lot 298: Map of the Leeward Islands; Comprising Antigua, Montserrat, Barbuda, St. Christopher, Nevis, Anguilla, Virgin Islands & Dominica...

A precisely engraved map of the Leeward Islands extending from the eastern half of Puerto Rico to Dominica. The colonial interests are named for each island and keyed to a color legend. There is very fine detail along the coastlines of the major islands, and a table lists the parishes in Nevis and St. Christopher (St. Kitts). The title continues, "under the Administration of Lieut. Colonel Sir Wm. M.G. Colebrooke, K.C.H. Compiled principally from documents in the Colonial Office and Admiralty."
