18th century English maps of Bermuda and New Providence

Two maps on ones sheet: above is a map of Bermuda; and below one of New Providence Island in the Bahamas, marking Paradise Island (here 'Hog Island'. Bermuda has an interesting cartographic error. The first authoritative map of Bermuda was compiled by Norwood in 1622 and published by John Speed in 1627. Behind the main map Norwood superimposed the coastline of New England Virginia to show the relative position of Bermuda. Although Moll has dropped this mainland from his map he has retained the small Bermuda, mistaking it for another island in the chain. This confirms that the source for this map was over a century old! At the time of publication, the governor of New Providence was Woodes Rogers, who had cleared the island of pirates in the previous decade. Moll first published his 'Atlas Minor' in 1729 but, shortly after his death in 1732, Thomas Bowles and his son John reissued it with plate numbers added, as this example.
