Title: Carte Du Golfe Du Mexique Dressee d'apres celles qui ont ete publiees par ordre des Cours de France, d'Espagne et d'Angleterre . . . 1780

Map Maker: Louis Denis

Description:

Extremely rare map centered on the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating the region in conflict among the French, Spanish & English, during the American Revolution.

While the American Revolution's primary battlefronts were in North America, the strategic importance of the war in Europe was also focused on control of strategic islands in the Caribbean.  The map shows the theatre of war on a Caribo-Centric basis, with large insets of the islands of Dominique, St. Vincent, Grenadine and Jamaica.

Florida is shown as an archipelago, with a fantastic river traversing from northeat to southwest.  A forts are located in the South.

We note a copy referenced in Mapoteca Columbiana, but have not located any other examples.

Condition Description: Minor toning from and early matting. Some spotting from moisture and some fold weakness.
