1671 St. Croix Virgin Islands Danish West Indi map Poster
This very scarce map of St. Croix shows the names of some of the landowners / planters at the time and of the sugar estates / plantations. It also has an inset in the lower right hand side showing Bassin (Christiansted). Geographical place names are in French. This early map is a must for any Crucian / Cruzan, genealogist, historian, or St. Croix lover! A Saint Croix map of incredible history! The island was owned by the Knights of Malta after being bequeathed by Phillippe de Longvilliers de Poincy, governor of the French colony of St. Kitts in 1660. However, they sold it to the French West India Company five years later. Under Governor Dubois, the colony became profitable with over 90 plantations established, growing such crops as tobacco, cotton, sugar cane, and indigo. After Dubois's death, the colony declined and Europeans abandoned the island until 1733 when it was sold to the Danish West India and Guinea Company. Original Map Title: L' Isle de Ste. Croix Scituée a 18. degr 48 minutes de lat. Septentrionalle Gouvernée depuis 12 Ans par Monsieur duBois. 1671.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
