This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Sarnia Insvla…’ which translates to ‘Island of Guernsey’. Guernsey was a picturesque island located in the English Channel during the early 17th century. Its coastline was dotted with cliffs and sandy beaches, while its interior was filled with fields and pastures. The island was strategically located between England and France, and as a result, it was frequently contested between the two countries. On this map, you will see the central locations of St Peter Port, St Helier, and Sark, as well as the nearby country of France. The map provides a glimpse into the island’s past and the historical significance of its location.
