This is a large antique map of the West India Islands. A Scottish, framed triptych of three Caribbean Leeward islands, dating to the late Georgian period, circa 1817. A fine excerpt from John Thompson's (1777 - 1841) A New General Atlas of 1817, presenting the three islands from the Caribbean Leeward Isles with contemporary naming - Guadaloupe, Mariegalante and Antigua.

Engraved by Kirkwood & Son of Edinburgh from John Thompson's cartography. Presents Guadeloupe, Antigua and Marie-Galante as individual insets. Each hand-coloured to the border, and annotated with a high level of detail. Shows place names, topography and scale for each island.
