The Map & Chart Collections

The Bahamas
Included in this collection are among the earliest, and most accurate, historical surveys
of the Bahamas. They were produced by the British at a time when colonization of the islands
was at its peak after the Revolutionary War and provide a fascinating glimpse into
the region at the time.
The majority of the collection was completed in the early 19th century by the likes of Anthony de Maine.
