"Americae Mappa generalis…", Homann Heirs

This attractive map of the Americas is filled with detail throughout. There is no coastline shown above the peninsular California, leaving out the usual conjectures about the Northwest Passage. South America shows very developed river systems, with the La Plata River terminating in a fictional Lacus Xarayes. The extravagant title cartouche includes two erupting volcanoes, Native Americans (one who appears to be holding a shrunken head), birds and a pot of gold or silver.
