Carte des Antilles
Pierre LAPIE (1777 – 1851)
Alexander Emile LAPIE (fl 1809 – 1850)
“Carte des Antilles, du Golfe du Méxique
et d'une partie des Etats voisins”
Nice map of the West Indies dated in the cartouche 1829, showing the territories from the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, Florida and the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Caribbean Sea with good details.
The map comes from the work of Pierre and Alexander Lapie “Atlas Universel de Geographie ancienne et moderne, precedé d'un precis de geographie physique et historique” published in Paris by Eimery, Fruger & Cie in 1833.
Still good example with margins around the platemark, with the central vertical fold due to the binding and a large zone of mild waterstaining in the upper and central part mostly visible at verso otherwise in fairly good condition.
A blind stamp is located on the lower left hand corner and relates to the publisher's firm.
