• DESCRIPTION: This map titled "A Plan of the City and Harbour of Havanna, Capital of the Island of Cuba" appeared in the May 1762 issue of "The London Magazine: or, Gentleman's Monthly Intelligencer." This small but finely engraved plan offers a detailed view of Havana’s city layout and its bustling harbor during a significant period in colonial history. <br><br> This map was published during the Seven Years' War, a time when Havana was a key strategic and economic hub in the Caribbean, primarily due to its sugar trade and location. The detailed depiction of Havana's fortifications and naval entries not only served military interests but also catered to the curiosity of European audiences eager for information about important overseas territories. This historical map is a valuable addition for collectors and historians, providing a snapshot of Havana’s urban and maritime landscape during an era of intense imperial competition.
