A beautifully illustrated original vintage pictorial map of Barbados, published by Sahdaka Designs in 1980 and created by Sandra Fisher & Kirby Shaw.
Rich in character and detail, the map celebrates the island’s geography, history and natural beauty, featuring each of Barbados’ eleven parishes alongside carefully illustrated coastal landmarks, churches, bays, botanical studies, local wildlife and a traditional compass rose. The elegant hand-lettered place names and delicate watercolour palette give the piece a timeless decorative quality.
Presented in its original gilt frame, this charming map offers both artistic appeal and a wonderful sense of place, making it an ideal acquisition for collectors of Caribbean memorabilia, those with a connection to Barbados, or anyone seeking distinctive coastal-inspired wall art.
An uncommon vintage decorative map that would look equally at home in a study, library, holiday home or relaxed contemporary interior.
