A Chart of the Straits of Magellan Inlarged from the Chart Published at Madrid in 1769 by Don Juan de la Cruz Cano y Olmedilla  . . .

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.

Cf. Howes J-81; cf. Phillips Atlases 1165 and 1166; cf. Sabin 35953; cf. Streeter Sale I, 72 (1775 edition); cf. Walter Ristow (editor) Thomas Jefferys The American Atlas London 1776, facsimile edition, Amsterdam 1974.
