Description

Striking map of the Caribbean and the Gulf Coast, including marvelous detail in Florida and an excellent and highly detailed representation of the Caribbean, Yucatan and Central America.

Beginning in the early 19th Century, Lapie was one of the leading French mapmakers, at a time when much of the great exploration and travel literature was being published in French. Lapie was often the engraver of maps which were included in these books. As a result, he often incorporated the most recent information and discoveries in his maps, often appearing prior to the official report from which the information derived. His maps are now prized for their detail, accuracy and attractive engraving style.
