Description
[Map - South America].
LINSCHOTEN, Jan Huygen Van (1563-1610).
Delineatio omnium orarum totius Australis partis Americae...
Engraved map with original hand color in full from Itinerario...
Amsterdam, 1596.
15 1/2" x 22" sheet, 27" x 33 1/2" framed.
This is one of the most striking and decorative maps of South America and is an important early record of the continent. The coastlines are well defined and densely engraved with place names while the interior is filled with fictional mountains, rivers and vignettes of Patagonian giants, Brazilian cannibals and numerous strange animals. Other embellishments include large elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, galleons and a beautiful compass rose. Engraved by Arnold van Langeren from Portuguese and Spanish sources that Linschoten gathered while living for six years under the patronage of the Catholic archbishop in Goa. A very difficult map to find in good condition. This copy surpasses others which have come to auction recently.
