"Map of the Caribbean islands and the American state of Florida" is a historically significant map created by the Flemish engraver and cartographer Theodore de Bry (1528–1598). De Bry, known for his detailed and intricate engravings, was a pivotal figure in the dissemination of knowledge about the New World in late 16th and early 17th century Europe. His works often accompanied travel narratives and were among the first to visually depict the Americas for a European audience.

This particular map is part of de Bry's larger body of work that contributed to the "Grand Voyages" (Grands Voyages), a series of publications that illustrated European explorations and encounters with indigenous peoples. The map showcases the Caribbean islands and the southeastern region of North America, including the peninsula of Florida, which was of significant interest during the period of early European exploration and colonization.

The map is characterized by its attention to detail and artistic embellishments, typical of de Bry's style. It not only served as a navigational tool but also as a piece of art that intrigued and informed the European public. The cartographic representation reflects the geographical knowledge of the time and includes various inaccuracies, which provide insight into the limitations and misconceptions of early modern European cartography.

Theodore de Bry's map is an important artifact for understanding the history of exploration, the transmission of geographic knowledge, and the European perception of the New World. It remains a subject of study for historians, geographers, and art historians, offering a window into the Age of Discovery and the early interactions between Europe and the Americas.
