This elegant, large map is William Faden's 1796 map of the West Indies, drawn by the British mapmaker Louis Stanislaw de la Rochette (Delarochette.) Delarochette was the preeminent cartographer working for the prolific map publisher Faden at the end of the 18th century, and this map was among the finest available, and certainly the largest English folio map to focus specifically on the West India Islands during this period. Properly speaking it is a chart, with no detail inland but an abundant and precise treatment of the coastlines. Its scope extends from Rattan or Roatán island off the coast of Honduras in the west, to include Barbados in the east; the map encompasses Trinidad in the south and Tampa Bay in the north.
