Description
Scarce 1816 atlas edition of Mathew Carey's map of Haiti, the western half of the island of St. Domingo in the West Indies. Map appears to be identical to the one in Carey’s 1814 General Atlas. Shows towns, rivers, ports, regional boundaries, churches, coastal features, islands and much more. Relief shown pictorially. The map focuses on the portion of the island under French control, and extends into the future Dominican Republic, then a Spanish territory. A reference to the Haitian revolution is noted in the key, indicating that "Places burnt by the Negroes are coloured Yellow." Since there are no solidly colored yellow areas, it is possible the map is designated all those areas within yellow outline as the areas referred to. The map is based on a Bellin map of Haiti which dates to the circa 1764 and was updated by Peter Charles Varle during his brief time in Haiti in the late 1780s and early 1790s. Since Varle was based Philadelphia during this period, it is certainly possible that Varle collaborated on this map with Carey who was also based in Philadelphia. Map is based on French cartographers with American additions (includes text in English and French). Some offsetting, which is typical for this map. 14.5 x 18.875
