Original uncoloured engraved map of the Cape Verde islands. Map dimensions 52 x 28.5 cm, overall sheet dimensions 54 x 38.5 cm. A bit toned overall and with some smudging to marings. A finely detailed chart of the Cape Verde Islands off the Coast of Africa, which appeared in a later edition of the West India Atlas. This sheet of sea charts details the Cape Verde Islands. First settled by the Portuguese in 1462, it soon became a popular haunt for pirates, including Sir Francis Drake in the 1580s. The sheet features with inset maps of Praya Bay, A View of the English Road, A View of Praya Bay and a group of recognition views. Sayer and Bennet based their work on charts by Jean-Baptiste Mannevillettes's Le Neptune Oriental (Paris, 1745).
