Mount & Page edition of Charles Price's sea chart of Hispaniola and the Windward Passage (including the Bahamas and part of Cuba, first published circa 1730.
The map covers the southern part of the Bahamas to Hispaniola.
This is one of the few charts from Price's extremely rare 1732 Sea Atlas which was acquired by Mount & Page and periodically included in the English Pilot, Fourth Book.
Charles Price (1679?-1733) was an engraver, instrument maker, and mapseller.
Price had been apprenticed to John Seller, famous mapmaker and father to Charles’ business partner, Jeremiah. In fact, Jeremiah and Charles were made free of the Merchant Taylors Guild on the same day, September 1, 1703. The two were already working together by then.
After breaking off with Seller, Price worked with John Senex (1705-10) and George Wildey (1710-13). He was still working in the 1720s, but was in Fleet Prison in 1731 for debt and died two years later.
