This anonymous map, dated 1606-1634, depicts five Caribbean islands: Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Saint Margaret. This map is an example of cartography during the Age of Exploration, when European powers were actively mapping the world. The map's detail, particularly the depiction of island contours and coastal features, suggests a thorough exploration of the Caribbean region by that period. The map is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and is an important historical document for understanding the geographical knowledge of the Caribbean in the early 17th century.
