Canary Islands & Madeira Map – Atlantic Archipelagos c.1780
DESCRIPTION This map focuses on the Canary Islands, Madeira, and Porto Santo, vital Atlantic staging points for European navigation. Engraved under Rigobert Bonne’s direction, it emphasizes precise coastal outlines and island placement rather than ornament. These islands played key roles in transatlantic voyages to Africa and the Americas. The map’s clarity and restrained style make it an excellent example of Enlightenment island cartography.
