This large beautifully hand coloured original antique map of the Caribbean Island of Jamaica was published by Georg Mattraus Seutter in 1730.
Large map of the island divided in the fourteen precincts. Great detail of the topography, settlements, and plantations. Text at top describes the location and history of the island. The very large & decorative cartouche depicts natives harvesting, processing and curing sugar cane, alongside turtles and mermaids. (Ref: M&B; Tooley)
