Plan de la rade du Port-Paix à la côte septentrionale de Saint-Domingue, Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville circa 1775, 12 x 9.125 inches
Single leaf with hand-coloration. Tear on right side extends 1/2 inch into map; archivally repaired. Previous folds. Likely extracted from an atlas or book although no evidence of binding. Apparently has been framed and re-framed with remnants of archival framer's tape on verso. Will ship with current matting. Very Good condition.
Uncommon map of Port-Paix on the Northern Coast of Santo Domingo. The French website www.catalogue.bnf.fr credits the map to Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, a French geographer and cartographer. Extracted from an atlas or book with notation on map, "Tom. II.pag.273." On watermarked paper (see photo of map on light table to see watermark).
