Porto Rico and The Virgin Islands / St. Domingo Independent
London: George Philip and son Ltd, 1852.
Map. Engraving. Measures 21" x 26".
This is a scarce 1852 map of Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Essentially two maps on one sheet, the upper map depicts Porto Rico, St Croix and the Virgin Island, while the lower map features Hispaniola. The map is beautifully detailed to show towns and cities, rivers, mountains and other geographical features. The map is in good condition with minor toning along original fold lines.
George Philip (1800-1882) was a cartographer and map publisher who began working in educational material. His son, also George (1823-1902), joined the successful and expanding firm in 1848. This fine map is an impressive example of their work as map publishers in the Victorian era and continued on for 140 years until it was sold in 1987.
