Details	1534	Bordone--Benedetto	First-printed-map-of-the-Caribbean-island-of-Hispaniola	The first printed large-scale map of the Caribbean island of <b>Hispaniola</b> which is shared by two nations: the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Also the first printed map to show the earliest settlement in the New World (other than a Viking settlement)- <b>La Isabela</b> ("Isabella"). During his second voyage in 1493 Christopher Columbus founded La Isabela on the central north coast of Hispaniola, in what is today the Dominican Republic. Map is inset onto a full page of Italian text. <br></br> This scarce antique map was published from Venice in 1534, just 42 years after Christopher Columbus first landed in the New World. From the second edition of Benedetto di Bordone's "Isolario di Benedetto Bordone Nel qual si ragiona di tutte l'Isole del mondo, con li lor nomi antichi & moderni, historie, favole, & modi del loro vivere, & in qual parte del mare stanno, & in qual parallelo & clima giaciono. Con la gionta del Monte del Oro novamente ritrovato". The Isolario provided nautical-chart inspired maps of islands alongside information for travellers on their culture, myths, climate, and history. Bordonne depicts the interior of the island as mountainous with numerous rivers flowing to the sea. <br></br> Bordone (1460-1531) was a Paduan cartographer, and an illustrator of manuscripts, best known for his 'Isolario' or book of islands. Bordone's work was only the second isolario ever printed, the first being that of Bartolommeo Dalli Sonneti published in 1485. Text on verso in Italian.

Details	1803	Depot-de-la-Marine	Antique-French-Chart-of-the-Dominican-Republic-and-Haiti	Old French map of Saint Dominque- the island of Hispaniola not yet divided into political entities of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Topography is shown in relief with extensive shading and hachuring. There is extensive depiction of the roads, rivers, and towns that populate the interior of the island. While the map does provide the user with visual geographic details, the is no information either of elevation of the terrain, nor are there any depth soundings. <br</br> The map was published by the Depot de la Marine in "An XI" - the 11th year after the French Revolution of 1803. Two changes on the map from an earlier edition of the same map published before the revolution are that the Depot de la Marine logo incorporates the letters "R.F." (Republique francaise) and the town previously denoted as "Port au Prince" is called "Port Republicain" in the post-revolutionary edition.
