Artists and Engravers: Rigobert Bonne (1727-1795 ) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century.

1794 Map of Jamaica by Bryan Edwards – Parishes, Plantations, Settlements
Located in Langweer, NL
1794 Bryan Edwards Map of Jamaica – Parishes, Plantations, Settlements
This is an important antique map titled “A Map of the Island of Jamaica, Divided into Counties and Parishes,” created by Bryan Edwards in 1794. It was published in the second edition of his influential work *The History of the British West Indies*, which provided detailed insights into the geography, society, and economy of the Caribbean at the height of British colonial influence.
The map meticulously depicts Jamaica divided into its traditional counties and parishes, each shaded to aid visual differentiation. Major settlements are clearly labelled, including Kingston, Montego Bay, Spanish Town, and Falmouth. The island’s intricate network of rivers, mountains, and coastal features are rendered with careful hachure and stipple shading to indicate elevation and terrain. Edwards uses small circular symbols to denote the locations of numerous sugar plantations that formed the backbone of Jamaica’s economy during this period, each plantation representing not only agricultural wealth but also the grim history of enslaved African labour central to the island’s prosperity.
Further notations identify churches, barracks, forts, and ports, demonstrating the comprehensive utility of this map for historical research into colonial infrastructure. The map even marks Bryan...
