Description
Bellin's spectacular, large scale map of northern Hispaniola (present day Haiti and the Dominican Republic), the Turks and Caicos islands, and the Lower Bahamas. Its meticulous topographical and nautical detail makes this one of the major 18th century charts of the Turks and Caicos, the Lower Bahamas, and the "debouquemens" (channels, open seaways) north of Hispaniola.
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.
