1688 Map of Bermuda by Robert Morden. A delightful small-format map of Bermuda published in 1688 by Robert Morden, showing the entire island divided into its traditional ‘tribes’, Sands, Southampton, Warwick, Pagets, Pembrok, Devonsh, Smiths, and Hammilton, each with its associated forts, castles, and outlying islands enumerated in a panel at lower left. The lower right quadrant contains a period description of the island’s geography.Morden also marks shoals, reefs, bays, and scattered islets throughout the surrounding waters. Originally appearing in the first edition of Morden’s Geography Rectified, this example was issued in the Dutch edition of Richard Blome’s The Present State of His Majesties Isles and Territories in America (1688). The map shows an old hinge remnant on the reverse and loss to the upper-right corner, but remains an appealing early printed representation of Bermuda. Fine to Very Fine. Est: $300-$400 (Image)
