Description
A map of South America, still marking El Dorado and Lake Parime, and omitting Cape Horn. The title cartouche features a man cutting wood with a saw and cannibals cooking a head and arm over a fire. The cartouche around the scale and key depicts a penguin and a Patagonian warrior.
The map was prepared by the Venetian monk Coronelli for Parisian publisher Jean-Baptiste Nolin snr while Coronelli was working in France for Louis XIV between 1683 and 1685, and pre-dates Coronelli's own atlases. This example has been updated by amateur geographer Jean-Nicholas de Tralage, Sieur de Tillemon.
