Rare chart of the island of St. Barts.

St.Barts was discovered by Columbus on his second voyage and named for his younger brother. Colonised by the French it was then ceded to Sweden, by Louis X!V in 1784, for free trading rights at Gotheborg, Sweden.

There are only 3 maps of St. Barts printed prior to 1800, all of which are exceedingly rare on the market.
