This attractive chart of the South Atlantic is centered on a large compass rose with rhumb lines radiating across the ocean. A good portion of the coastlines of South America and Africa are shown with major port cities named. The Prime Meridian is shown through Eyland Ferro and the Meridian of Paris is shown just west of the coast of Africa. A large rococo title cartouche graces the otherwise blank interior of South America. Published in Johann Joachin Schwabe's German translation of part of Prevost d'Exiles' multi-volume Histoire des Voyages.
