Antigua and Barbuda is an independent Commonwealth country comprising its 2 namesake islands and several smaller ones. Positioned where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet, it's known for reef-lined beaches, rainforests and resorts. Antigua’s coastline is intricate, with bays and headlands fringed with reefs and shoals; several inlets, including Parham and English Harbour, afford anchorage for shipping, and St. John’s has a deepwater harbor. The island has an area of 108 square miles. It is mostly low and undulating, but in the west there are volcanic rocks that rise to 1,330 feet at Mount Obama (formerly Boggy Peak). An absence of mountains and forests distinguishes Antigua from the other Leeward Islands. Agriculture, once the mainstay of the economy, has been largely supplanted by tourism. Barbuda was never involved in the sugar plantation system, its inhabitants always having been fishermen and subsistence farmers. Their traditional system of land tenure is threatened by tourism development. Fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, mangoes, and eggplants, are now cultivated on the islands. The artists of Anderson Design Group have created this original illustration, handcrafted to celebrate the beauty of Antigua Barbuda. This design will look lovely as a print, canvas, metal sign, postcard or notecard.
