Captain Speer's Scarce Map of the West Indies

Item Details

Description

SPEER, Captain Joseph Smith (d. 1837).
A General Chart of the West Indies / To His Royal Highness George Augustus Frederick Prince of Wales &c. &c. &c. this Chart of the West Indies, is Humbly Inscribed by His Royal Highness's Faithful & Obedient Servant Joseph Smith Speer.
Engraved map [Engraving by Thomas Bowen].
London: Speer, May 20, 1774.
29 1/8" x 45 5/8" sheet.

A lovely example of this scarce separately published map of the hotly contested eighteenth-century West Indies.

Captain Joseph Smith Speer was an English mariner who served 21 years on the Mosquito (Miskito) Coast in what is now Nicaragua. He later created detailed maps of the West Indies based on his first-hand knowledge of the region. In 1766 he published The West-India Pilot containing 13 maps, followed by an enlarged edition with 26 maps in 1771.
