West Indies Map – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, 1876
This richly detailed 1876 map, titled “De Vereenigde Staten van Noord-Amerika, Mexico, West-Indië en de Vereenigde Staten van Colombia,” was published in Leiden by D. Noothoven van Goor for the *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde*. It offers an exceptionally comprehensive view of the United States and its neighboring regions during a pivotal period of growth and reconstruction following the American Civil War.
The map captures the United States with its post-1870 state boundaries firmly established, including the large western territories that had not yet achieved statehood. Regions such as Montana, Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, and Indian Territory appear in their expansive territorial forms, offering historical insight into the administrative geography of the period. Major railroads, wagon routes, and early towns are displayed with fine engraving, revealing the rapid infrastructural expansion across the continent.
Mexico is presented with clear provincial boundaries and dense labeling of cities, mountain ranges, and rivers. The depiction reflects the territorial configuration after the loss of the northern regions to the United States in the mid-19th century, showing Mexico in a more stable national form following decades of upheaval.
The Caribbean and West Indies section is exceptionally rich, illustrating Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, and the coastline of northern South America. Insets highlight strategic and commercially important locations, including New York, San Francisco, Havana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and St. Eustatius. These add valuable geographic context and emphasize the maritime networks that connected North America with the Caribbean and the wider Atlantic world.
The map also includes a detailed inset of the eastern United States, showing population centers, rail lines, and industrial hubs with great clarity. Another inset focuses on San Francisco and its bay area, reflecting the post–Gold Rush transformation of California into a major Pacific gateway.
Engraved with precision and finished with subtle hand-applied color outlining borders, this map exemplifies the high production standards of late 19th-century Dutch cartography. It is both historically important and visually compelling, capturing an era of continental expansion, migration, and emerging national identities.
This plate is ideal for collectors of American history, early U.S. territorial maps, Mexican cartography, and the colonial-era Caribbean.
Condition report:
Good condition with typical age toning and light scattered foxing, mostly in the margins. Original center fold as issued. Image area sharp with crisp engraving and well-preserved hand-coloring. No tears or repairs observed.
Framing tips:
A warm ivory or off-white mat highlights the subtle pastel border colors. A walnut, black, or thin gold frame complements the period style. Because this is a large horizontal map, a wide mat margin helps balance the composition and create a gallery-quality presentation.
