1946 Moulder Pictorial Map of Barbados

This is a 1946 Bruce Moulder pictorial map of Barbados. Pictorial icons illustrate the island's sugar factories, windmills, and lighthouses. Other illustrations mark hotels, important buildings (such as the Government House in Bridgetown), and the Seawell Airport. A handful of short descriptions provide historical information. Beaches where swimming is possible are noted with the word 'seabathing'. Red dotted and dashed lines separate the island's parishes, each of which is labeled. The Caribbean's diverse sea life encircles the map, with a hawksbill turtle, a flying fish, and a red snapper illustrated.
