"Insulae Americanae in Oceano Septentrionali, cum Terris adiacentibus", Montanus, Arnoldus

Decorative chart of the Caribbean based on Hessel Gerritsz' chart of 1631 and Blaeu's map of 1634. Shown is the area from Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf of Mexico and Central America to the northern tip of South America. Scenic title cartouche fills the North American continent and an equally graphic scale of miles cartouche fills the interior of South America, each surrounded by Native Americans and European merchants. The seas are embellished with rhumb lines, ships and compass roses.
