Notes
Rare Admiralty chart of the Bay of Pampater and Porlamar on Isla Margarita; and Laguna Grande in Venezuela.
The title states that the chart was copied from a ‘Spanish printed Plan’, this refers to the ‘Portulano de la America Setentrional’ a work published by the Spanish Admiralty in 1809, and containing 111 charts of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. A second edition of the pilot was published in 1818 with 121 charts.
