"Il Chili con le Contrade Vicine ed il Paese dei Patagoni Delineati Sulle Ultime Osservazioni", Cassini, Giovanni Maria

This uncommon and finely engraved Italian map covers South America from Asuncion south to Cape Horn. The region is divided into various provinces, including Provin di Tucuman, Governo di Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Patagoni. Several cities are identified, including Buenos Aires, Santiago, Cordoba, and Monte Video. Volcanoes are depicted among the fine topographical detail, and the Pampas are indicated. I. di Chiloe, the Falklands, and several smaller offshore islands are located. The striking title cartouche features a scene of two Indigenous figures with bows and quivers.
