A richly detailed map of the southern tip of South America, from the Tropic of Capricorn south to Tierra del Fuego. Off the eastern coast lies the phantom Pepys Island, here called I. Pepie ou Peipis. Pepys Island was named for Samuel Pepys by Ambrose Cowley in 1684, who placed it a couple hundred miles north of the Falkland Islands. Many expeditions attempted to locate the island and it was assumed to be a misplaced member of the Falkland Islands. The title is surrounded by natives, animals and wind heads, and an inset at the upper right lists latitude and longitude for the principal areas.
