Additional Information
 

Produced by noted Spanish geographer and cartographer Tomas Lopez de Vargas Machuca in 1755, this ornate depiction of the maritime features of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea contains remarkable detail, accuracy, and longitudinal elements. These productions would have been invaluable tools for merchants, explorers, and naval sailing vessels both in North America and for reference in Europe. After completing his training in Paris in 1752, Machuca sailed west to map the extensive nautical features of the Spanish holdings in the region. In 1795 Machuca compiled the Geographical Atlas of Spain, the first comprehensive atlas of all maps produced to that date. The work was completed by his son in 1804 and remains one of the most important pieces of European cartographical history. 

Spanish settlement throughout the Caribbean and what would eventually become the Southern portion of the United States was extensive, extending from Florida to Texas and Mexico. They would maintain a powerful presence in the region until the end of the eighteenth-century. Machuca would complete more than sixty maps throughout his career, and he was one of the most prolific Spanish cartographers of his time.

Since Columbus first landed in the Caribbean, the region has served as an important trading hub for imports and exports to Northern America. Control of the area was essential for establishing trade routes to Europe. This led to the development of diverse cultures drawing from European, Native, and African influences. Machuca's stunning depiction remains one of the most distinct examples of the region.

Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
