Tampa Bay was first
explored by Europeans in 1525, by Panfilo de Narvaez. The early
explorers did not settle the area at the time, as they were searching
for gold. When it became clear that there wasn't any gold to be found
and that the Native Americans were unwilling to be swayed to
Christianity, they moved on and the area was left alone by Europeans
until the early 1800's. The area is now comprised of several cities,
including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, & Sarasota - as well as many
other smaller towns.

All reproduction prints are printed as "museum quality",
using advanced ink formulas and durable museum quality paper. The
reproduction prints reflect the state of repair of the original conserved
document. Stains and imperfections reflected in the original map
at the time it was collected for conservation are left un-retouched, as
they reflect the character and charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark fold lines have been removed when
possible. Maps are printed as ordered and are not returnable unless
received damaged. |
