"We have exciting news that we know will be of interest to you.  For the first time in history, the earliest maps of the Virgin Islands are now available as archival-quality reproductions.  Most of these historical maps in their original form are beyond the reach of most persons due to their very high prices, others are simply unavailable because they are very rare and one-of-a-kind.  Most of the maps that we are making available to the general public, have the original estate / plantation names that survive to this day.  They are reasonably priced thus making them available to everyone.

"Among the Virgin Islands cartographic treasures, you will find the 1671 Lapointe St. Croix map, the 1719 van Keulen St. Thomas map, the 1775 Jefferys Virgin Islands map, the 1799 Oxholm St. Croix map, the 1800 Oxholm St. John map, among others.  All of these antique maps have a vast historical significance in the mapping history of the Virgin Islands.

"We invite you to peruse through our fine selection of important Virgin Islands maps by clicking on Argus Prints."

For all you history buffs who read this blog, you should enjoy these detailed maps of the Virgin Islands.
