Description
Known for it’s profitable exports of sugar, cocoa, and coffee (made possible through a slave-based economy), the island of Dominica was a constant battleground between French and British forces between the 17th and 19th centuries. It changed hands no less than four times, as reflected in the place names listed in both French and English.
The map was published in London in 1794 by John Stockdale, as part of Bryan Edwards’ “History of the West Indies.” The year after the map was issued, the French would attempt yet another (unsuccessful) invasion of the island.
