Nice example of this detailed map of the Straits of Magellan on continuous regions, prepared from the recently completed map of Juan de La Cruz Cano & Olmedilla and Hiolito Ricarte.
Cruz Cano's eight-sheet map of South America, much like the Mitchell map, was sponsored by Spain as a means of mapping the then known continent of Spain's colonial power. It is believed that the plates for the map were subsequently destroyed, making it a legendary rarity.
This map appears mostly in Thomas Jeffery's American Atlas.
