Cuba, during the Seven Years’ War

A scarce map of Cuba with inset plan and view of Havana Harbour. It was published in Raspe's 'Schau Platz des gegenwaertigen Kriegs' (Plates illustrating the Current Wars), a record of the battles of the Seven Years' War (1756-63). The British captured Havana in 1762, also seizing the Spanish ships they had bottled up in the harbour. The city was held by the British until they returned it as part of the Treaty of Paris.
