  • Cartographer: Bellin
  • Place & Date: Paris / 1758/1760
  • Size: 6" x 8 1/4" (Grenada); 5 7/8" x 7 3/4" (Barbados)

    The small but charming maps of Grenada and Barbados joined in a single sheet from the atlas of Prevost d'Exiles' influential collection of travel narratives, Histoire Generale des Voyages. Both islands are shown divided into parishes and with good topographical details, many place names (especially along the coasts), and decorative floral cartouches.

    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.
