Cartobibliographic notes:
This map perhaps derived from Louis Delarochette, "The Caribbee Islands and Guayana," London [ca. 1768], but with the addition of the inset maps. This map was bound into a volume of 53 maps for John Carter Brown around 1840. The first map, Herman Moll, "A map of the West-Indies," London, ca. 1720 (08569-1-000) was removed from the volume and is housed separately.
