Middle America in Focus — Countries of the Caribbean (1922)

A sumptuous National Geographic portrait of the Caribbean at the dawn of modern mobility. Published in February 1922 in an issue devoted entirely to Middle America, this map spans Central America, Mexico, and the West Indies in rich, readable cartography. Period details—inset city/island maps, steamship routes, and wireless stations—capture a region knitting itself together by sea lanes and signal.

More Than a Map – A Time-Capsule of Connectivity

Beyond its beauty, this sheet documents trade, travel, and communications across the tropical Americas just after WWI. Ideal for collectors, educators, designers, and family historians, it rewards both wall-distance viewing and close inspection with notes and nautical information rarely shown on a single map.
