- Lot Description
A stunning wall map based on d'Anville's map of South America, including new discoveries by explorers along the coast, printed over two sheets and published by Laurie & Whittlemin 1794. This was likely originally bound into a large scale world atlas, the most common of which were the various printings of Kitchin's General Atlas. The continent is shown in its entirety, from the Caribbean in the North, labelled here as the 'North Sea of the Spaniards,' to the southernmost tip of the Tierra del Fuego and the Falklands. The Galapagos, off the western coast off the continent, are also given the whimsical title of the 'Inchanted Isles,' a direct English translation of their former Spanish name, Las Encantadas. The map features numerous notes of geographic, ethnographic, and historic interest, and to the left, in the Pacific Ocean, a large boxed text features a description of the 'Division of South America with a Summary Account of its Trade'. At the top right corner, an inset boxed chart shows the Falkland Islands, 'named by the French Malouine Islands, and discovered by Hawkins in the year 1595'. The map is outlined in hand color, and features a large baroque title cartouche assembled from floral and faunal emblems of the continent in the bottom right corner.
