    Scarce antique copper-plate engraved harbor plan of Portobello, Panama after Henry Popple (1733). Popple's chart predates the later charts of Bellin and Bowen who based their geography on Durrell. This antique map was originally published by Covens and Mortier in 1742 in "Les Principales Forteresses Ports etc. de L'Amerique Septentrionale" a sheet containing harbor and island maps and plans of the Americas. This map is a fragment trimmed from the larger sheet. Notation by engraver at bottom right: I.K. f.

    Portobelo was founded in March 1597 as "San Felipe de Portobelo". A military compound, Portobelo belonged to a larger defensive system, including Veracruz (Mexico), Cartagena (Colombia), and Havana (Cuba), to protect the route of commercial trade between the Americas and Spain. Portobelo, where the annual late summer trade fairs were held, was one of the principal Caribbean ports and played a leading role controlling Spain's imperial trade in the Americas.
