Paris, Didot, 1768, 21 x 31,5 cm, contornos coloreados de época, reverso en blanco. (Este raro mapa fue grabado para la "Descripción de Débouquements Qui Sont au Nord de l'île de Saint Domingue", 1768, una pequeña guía de navegación con 152 páginas y 34 cartas náuticas del Norte del Mar Caribe. Como se indica en la cartela, está claramente influenciado por los recientes esfuerzos cartográficos británicos de su nueva posesión [en el primer tratado de París de 1763, al concluir la guerra de los franceses e indios, Inglaterra recibió Florida de España a cambio de la retrocesión de La Habana y El norte de Cuba para los españoles]. En particular, el mapa de John Gibson para la revista Caballeros de 1763, famoso por su descripción de la península de Florida como un archipiélago, parece haber sido una fuente importante para este trabajo. Excepcionalmente, el norte está en el lado derecho del mapa]).
