Coastal cities and ports are noted with Spanish, Portuguese, and English nomenclature.   

The lovely title cartouche features a vignette depicting indigenous peoples and Europeans. The seas are embellished with rhumb lines, ships and compass roses. A decorative scale of distance can be found in the lower right presenting German and Spanish miles.

Condition: This map is in A condition with superb color and wide margins on all sides.
