Image measures 8.5" x 11.25".<br/><br/> This lovely 1824 map by Anthony Finley features the West Indies and Caribbean Islands.

The map is beautifully detailed and notes the important cities and some topographic features. The map is in good condition with minor toning and foxing. Original plate mark is visible.
