Tobago’s coastline has long been shaped by trade, empire and maritime travel, and that layered history gives this antique map its particular fascination. Drawn by Thomas Bowen in 1779, it captures the island with elegant period detail, from its coastal outline and divisions to the decorative cartographic touches that make eighteenth-century maps so enduringly appealing. A striking choice for anyone drawn to Caribbean history, vintage map decor and antique cartography, it brings character, warmth and a sense of place to a study, hallway, office or gallery wall.

Print quality
Printed on beautifully textured 300gsm cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks, this reproduction has a crisp, characterful finish that suits antique cartography especially well. The heavyweight fine art paper gives the image depth and presence, while the archival inks help preserve its subtle tones, fine linework and period detail.
