"A Map of South America with all the European Settlements & whatever else is remarkable from the latest & best Observations", Seale, Richard William

Handsome map filled with names of European and Indian cities, forts, castles and gold and silver mines. The spurious Prime Lake sits near Guiana with the fanciful city of Manoa, o el Dorado located on its banks. The Amazon Basin is described by This Country and its Inhabitants are very little known, a note that is also applied to the fictional Iarajes or Xarayes Lake attached at the headwaters of the La Plata. The map is decorated with a lovely rococo cartouche and a compass rose.

Nice impression with attractive color. The bottom margin has been replaced where it was trimmed for binding. The map was folded, and it is now pressed with some repairs on the folds.
