"America Meridionalis per sua Regna Province: et Ins: juxta observation: et descript recentis divisa et adornata cura et opera", Seutter, Matthias

Very interesting small map depicting the breadth of the continent too narrowly and the Salomon Islands too near to South America. Place names are abundant, particularly along the coastlines. Routes of Pacific explorers are shown. A huge pictorial cartouche takes in nearly a quarter of the sheet and features a variety of native occupations, a mermaid, sailing ships and wildlife. Engraved by Tobias Lotter.
