An impressive sea chart of the mouth of the La Plata River, extending northward from present-day Argentina to Santa Catarina Island in Brazil. A native holding a large reed forms the border for an ingenious inset map of the approach to Buenos Aires (Boinos Airos), set atop the scale of miles in the lower left. The title cartouche is surrounded by an exciting scene that shows a jaguar about to dispatch a monkey, while a cockatoo prepares to fly away, and a native looks on, his machete ready.
