DESCRIPTION: "Ville de St. Domingue (Santo Domingo)" by Jacques N. Bellin, 1770. This meticulously detailed city crafted by Jacques Nicolas Bellin is featured in Prevost's "L'Histoire Generale des Voyages." Bellin, celebrated as a master French cartographer from 1703 to 1772, held the prestigious roles of the first Ingenieur Hydrographe de la Marine and Official Hydrographer to the French King. <br><br> His map carefully delineates the architectural and urban contours of Santo Domingo, showcasing the city's structured streets and key landmarks that underscore its historical and strategic significance as a major hub in the Caribbean during the colonial era. This plan not only serves as a navigational tool but also as an artistic window into the urban tapestry of one of the New World’s earliest European cities.
