Guatemala is limited to a narrow strip along the Pacific coast and El Salvador has yet to be carved out of Honduras. Decorated with a fine title cartouche. This map was published in a Dutch edition of Antoine Francois Prevost d'Exiles' influential collection of travel narratives, L'Histoire Generale des Voyages with alternate Dutch title below the map.
