Zustand: Very Good. A sophisticated cartographic study of the northern Caribbean at a political flashpoint, produced during the height of Spanish colonial tension and the rise of Bolivar?s influence.? This map, plate 40 from the landmark Carey & Lea atlas, provides an exceptionally detailed look at the Bahamian archipelago and the rugged interior topography of Cuba. By surrounding the copperplate engraving with dense, encyclopedic columns of text, Fielding Lucas Jr. created a 'total document' that served as a primary intelligence briefing for 1820s American merchants and diplomats navigating the complex social and economic structures of the West Indies. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Hand-colored engraving featuring pictorial mountains in the Cuban interior and detailed bathymetry of the Great Bahama Bank. Notable for marking Cat Island as the 1492 landfall of Columbus. +++ Binding: Disbound from the 1822 'Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas'; vertical center-fold as issued. +++ Content: Extensive text blocks covering the government, climate, and soil of Cuba and the Bahamas, including historical sketches of Spanish and British administration. +++ Imprint: Philadelphia: Published by Carey & Lea, 1822. Engraved by Young & Delleker. +++ Specs: Full sheet measures 22 x 17.5 inches; map image 16.5 x 12 inches. CONDITION - A nice, bright impression with typical light age-toning across the sheet. The hand-coloring is well-preserved. There are two distinct dark spots located just below the bottom map border in the lower margin; these do not affect the cartographic image or the primary text. The original center-fold is strong. Overall a clean, stable specimen of early 19th-century American copperplate printing. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Abolitionist Context: The text and map provide a snapshot of the Bahamas during its era as a destination for escaped slaves from Florida, offering a geographical look at the 'Maroon' and maritime escape routes of the period. +++ Geopolitical Transition: Captures Cuba during the 'Spanish colonial oppression' mentioned in contemporary accounts, just as the successes of Simon Bolivar were beginning to inspire regional revolutionary sentiment. +++ Hydrographic Detail: One of the most detailed commercial renderings of the Bahamian sand banks and navigational hazards available to the 1822 public. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE ? Fielding Lucas Jr. was the most meticulous American mapmaker of the early 19th century. His work for Carey & Lea was revolutionary because it adopted the 'Lesage' style?integrating high-level statistics directly onto the map sheet. This allowed the viewer to understand not just where Cuba was, but its population density, agricultural output, and colonial history in a single glance. In 1822, the Bahamas remained a critical British strategic outpost, while Cuba was the 'Jewel of the Antilles' for the Spanish Crown. This map demonstrates the 'interconnection' of these islands, highlighting how their proximity shaped the trade and defense of the American South and the Gulf of Mexico.

Zustand: Very Good. A foundational specimen of American commercial cartography, this map represents the peak of 19th-century geographical reporting during a period of intense colonial transition.? Drawn by Fielding Lucas Jr. and appearing in the landmark 'Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas', the work utilizes the 'Lesage' style of surrounding a central map with dense columns of demographic and historical data. By coding the islands in distinctive hand-colored washes?red for British, yellow for Spanish, and green for Dutch?Lucas provides a visual ledger of the waning European grip on the Americas just as regional independence movements began to reshape the Western Hemisphere. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Hand-colored copperplate engraving featuring intricate coastal details, navigational hazards, and shoals. Includes the site of Columbus' 1492 landing noted on Cat Island. +++ Binding: Disbound from the original 1822 atlas; retains the original vertical center-fold. +++ Content: Extensive narrative text columns detailing climate, soil, government, and the religious profile of the islands (Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, etc.). +++ Imprint: Philadelphia: Published by Carey & Lea, 1822.

The margins are generous, showing only minor shelf handling and negligible soiling to the outer edges. A well-preserved, unsophisticated example of early American atlas printing. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Colonial Ledger: The map functions as a primary political document, categorizing the Caribbean not by geography, but by European ownership during the era of the Monroe Doctrine. +++ Demographic Data: The statistical tables provide a 'timestamp' of the region's population and slave labor systems just prior to the major waves of British emancipation. +++ Navigational Detail: While interior topography is scarce, the coastal work is exceptionally detailed, noting keys and banks that were essential for the era?s maritime trade routes. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE ? Fielding Lucas Jr. was the premier American cartographer of his era, and his work for the Carey & Lea Atlas solidified Philadelphia as the center of the American publishing world. This atlas was the first of its kind produced in the United States to rival the great European houses, and it remains a cornerstone for collectors of Western Hemisphere geography. The year 1822 was a time of immense political upheaval. As the United States looked southward, this map provided the necessary 'intelligence' for merchants and politicians to understand the complex web of Caribbean interests. The inclusion of lengthy text blocks allowed the 19th-century reader to move beyond the image into a deep-dive of the region's economic possibilities.
