Description
The scarce and wonderfully detailed map of Cuba, from Bellin's Petit Atlas Maritime. Encompassing part of the Bahamas and the Florida Keys, the map includes good navigational detail—harbors, bays, shoals, and sailing routes—and a lovely rococo title cartouche.
Jacques-Nicolas Bellin(1703-1772) was a French cartographer, hydrographer and geographer. Born in Paris, Bellin was a member of the French intellectual group, the philosophes, a member of the Academie de Marine and of the Royal Society of London. His career spanned over five decades in which he produced a large number of maps for the Dépot des Cartes et Plans de la Marine.
