| Notes | - Apparently a manuscript fair copy made in preparation for a printed edition of the map. The printed map was included in several atlases, beginning with Jefferys' The West India atlas (London : Sayer and Bennett, 1775). The Newberry Library holds the 1780 edition of this atlas, with the Barbados map dated 1775 (Ayer *135 .J46 1780, plate X). This printed map lacks the inset of Bridgetown. For a bibliography of printed editions of the map, cf. T. Campbell, "The Printed maps of Barbados" in The Map Collectors' Circle no. 21 (1965) entry no. 38 and plate XVII.
- Inset in upper right (144 x 235 mm.): Plan of Bridgetown.
- Relief shown by hachures.
- Prime meridians: Greenwich and Ferro.
- Pen-and-ink.
- Possibly detached from a binding; multiple fold lines present; drawn on 2 overlapping sheets (583 x 489 mm. and 41 x 488 mm.); subsequently mounted flat onto cloth.
