First published by Jodocus Hondius and reissued by Blaeu. Hondius early death curtailed his atlas project, and the plates were sold to Blaeu, who re-printed this map into the 1650's, however this example is a very early printing with the engraving crisp and clear. The map shows Paraguay and the Rio del Plata in some detail. The title cartouche and mileage scale appear together in the upper right hand corner of the map. Despite centrefold crease prominent, this is an interesting early map of interior detail in this continent.
