Publisher : Published Rome. Jacques-Nicolas Bellin, a prolific 18th-century cartographer and official hydrographer to the French king, created a variety of sea charts, atlases, and individual maps during his career detailing regions around the world.

This is an Italian issue of a localized map showing the island of St. Kitts – which Christopher Columbus had originally named San Cristoforo after himself. The map includes a compass rose crossing the chart, labels regions and harbors around the island, and provides topographical detail for rivers and mountain elevations. Maps
