Description
A nice example of Coronelli's map of the island of Maria Galante, from his 'Isolario Dell'Atlante Veneto'.
This is one of the few separate maps of the island of Marie-Galante in the French West Indies. The island is now commonly known as La Grande Galette (Big Cookie) due to its round shape and almost flat surface.
The various sugar plantations are laid out and Fort Moliere is located, and shown in a small inset. A vignette at upper right shows a bloody battle that occurred in 1653 in which Carib rebels slaughtered the entire colonist population of the Vieux Fort River region noted here as C. du Massacre.
