"Paraquaria vulgo Paraguay Cum adjacentibus", Blaeu, Johannes

Fine, rare map covering Uruguay, Paraguay, northern Argentina and part of Chili. Filled with topographical illustrations, it also locates cities, missions, forts and villages. Gerard Coeck engraved this beautiful map and embellished it with two Dutch ships in the Atlantic Ocean and three cartouches. Latin text on verso with Qqq signature. This map appeared only in the Atlas Major, and is thus quite rare.
