    A classic map of the Caribbean by the leading French cartographer of the 17th century. This beautifully designed and engraved map encompasses southern Florida, western Central America and northern South America, with excellent detail of the Bahamas and the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Particularly noteworthy is the unusual drapery cartouche.

    Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) was a French cartographer, often referred to as the "father of French cartography." His reputable skill led him to be appointed royal geographer, and he gave lessons in geography both to Louis XIII and to Louis XIV.
