Maps: 1984 Signed "Xandra" Windward Islands Pictorial Map Print

This vintage pictorial map print displays a stylized cartographic overview of the Caribbean Windward Islands, covering Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines down to Grenada.

The artwork incorporates hand-lettered text, watercolour-style blue and green washes, an ornate compass rose flanked by two whales, and an illustration of an old sailing galleon. Housed in a dark mahogany-finished wood frame with a gold-leaf inner rim border, this decorative print adds an immediate nautical touch to a beach cottage or coastal study.

Authentic 1980s cruising map illustrated by the regional Caribbean artist Xandra. It was originally commissioned to serve as the signature visual overview for the early editions of Chris Doyle’s definitive maritime cruising text, "Sailors' Guide to the Windward Islands". It features the hand-written signature and date attribution reading "Xandra 84'" printed directly into the lower right plate corner.

Elke stuk word met sorg nagevors en ondersteun deur omvattende historiese notas wat uit beskikbare bronne, vergelykende analise en argivale verwysings getrek is. Alhoewel ek nie 'n gesertifiseerde waardeerder of egtheidspesialis is nie, weerspieël my toeskrywings noukeurige onafhanklike navorsing en kan dit verfyn word soos nuwe bewyse na vore kom. Hierdie notas word aangebied om die begrip en waardering van elke item te verryk, eerder as formele waarborge van ouderdom, herkoms of egtheid.
