Dear Map colleagues:

Maybe you are asking for a manuscript sketch of Colon (Columbus), that depicts the northwestern coast of La Española (Hispaniola) and some islands like Tortuga.

It is dated ca. 1492-1493, and its dimensions are 45 x 28 cm. It is located at the Archivo de los duques de Alba (Madrid, Spain).

Best regards

Pilar
