• DESCRIPTION: "Karte von der Insel St. Christoph" This map, titled "Karte von der Insel St. Christoph," originates from the 1760 German edition of Antoine Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages. It provides a highly detailed representation of St. Kitts, also known as St. Christopher, one of the Leeward Islands in the West Indies. <br><br> The map captures the island's intricate geography and the layout of its settlements during the 18th century. Enhanced with well-applied color to improve both clarity and visual appeal, this map is a fine example of the cartographic precision of the era. It not only serves as a geographical guide but also offers valuable insights into the colonial history of the region, reflecting the strategic importance of Caribbean islands in global trade and imperial competition during that time.
