Caribbean West Indies Bermuda St. Domingo Jamaica Haiti c.1865 large antique map

Johnson's West Indies

(Caribbean, inset Bermuda islands, Jamaica, Cuba, Atlantic Ocean- Sea- Central America bottom left corner, southern Florida top left. etc.)

Issued  New York, c. 1864 by A.J. Johnson.  (so dated within plate)

Attractive, mid-19th century lithographed map with original hand color. Set within an ornate decorative engraved border, which greatly enhances the visual appeal of the map.

NOTE- clean 3" SPLIT along bottom CENTERFOLD,  otherwise an entirely clean and nice looking example. If the map were laid flat for framing/ display, the centerfold split would essentially disappear and be almost invisible when viewing the map.

As originally issued long ago, an actual antique/ vintage printed sheet of paper, not a modern copy or reprint of an old map. The paper has uniformly age-toned / lightly browned, as typical for Johnson maps of this era.

The paper will show various minor signs of age, but if we are offering it for sale, you can be certain it is entirely worthy of ownership by even the most discerning collector or dealer.

Sheet remains well preserved, keeping in mind it is not modern or new, so minor flaws, short edge splits and various signs of age to paper unworthy of specific mention are normal and to be expected. Overall appearance is hopefully captured within the images.

Great old antique map entirely worthy of hanging for display, gift-giving, resale, etc.

A cartographic depiction captured in a manner entirely unique to this era.

Sheet measures c. 25" W x 16 3/4" H.

Printed area measures c. 20 1/2" W x 13 1/4" H.

Folio. Original centerfold as issued -- in no way a defect or issue.

Paper and image remains overall clean & sound. Old maps & prints often display small minor repairs on the back, could have uneven blank margins, might have extraneous fold-lines or other small minor age flaws which do not detract from the visual appeal or value. Condition is carefully considered in arriving at our price.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The images are a major part of the item description. Please examine closely, what you see is what we will send you.
