The Public Record Office has two copies of the 1786/87 de Latour map:
one dated 1851 a certified copy of the original which was in Paris at the
time - does not say where. PRO reference CO 700/St Lucia no2

the second dated 1883 reference CO 700/St Lucia no9

I have not looked at either but I have been told that the first one is a
large document. Copies can be ordered from the PRO but I can imagine that it
would be expensive.
