This huge map is engraved on three separate sheets, each 15 x 18.5", and provides an extremely detailed view of the continent. The top sheet includes a large inset of the Falkland Islands. The bottom sheet features a very large and beautifully engraved title cartouche depicting the religious conversion of the native peoples. The size given is if joined. This very uncommon Austrian-produced map will be very striking if assembled as a wall map.
