Mid-Nineteenth-Century Cartography of Cuba and the West Indies

Published in 1851 by J.H. Colton, this exceptional antique map offers a comprehensive geographic survey of the Caribbean basin during a politically turbulent era. The hand-colored steel engraving centers on the island of Cuba, highlighting its historic provincial divisions, while accurately mapping the surrounding territories of the Florida peninsula, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Yucatan, and the vast waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

Cuban Flag Maritime Iconography and Havana Harbor Vignette

Framed by Colton’s signature decorative grapevine border, the archival print is distinguished by a large, ornate title block in the upper right corner. This section incorporates an early representation of the Cuban flag alongside a detailed illustrated vignette titled “City of Havana,” capturing the historic harbor fortifications and maritime landscape of the capital, making it a premier visual resource for Caribbean history enthusiasts.
