Antique 1844 West Indies Map from Smith's "Geography for Schools" Atlas – Cuba, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Greater Antilles Florida top
Beautiful, antique map of the West Indies, including parts of Mexico, Central and South America as well as Florida and the Bahamas. This is an authentic 1844 lithograph from Smith's "Geography for Schools Atlas" engraved by Sherman & Smith, published by Smith, New York. It is original and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what the West Indies looked like over 175 years ago during the late 1800's. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including mountains, islands, countries and rivers. Hand colored. The reverse side top is blank (with some interesting pencil drawings).
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
Edition of 1844, printed 1844
Dimensions: 11 1/2" width x 9 1/4" height

Condition: Good or "Very Vintage" condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 175 years old. Has some wear, pencil in margin, discoloration, staining and foxing, but this will all read as vintage character when framed.
