This handsome and uncommon map of Chile appeared in one of John Seller's miniature atlases. It extends from Copiapo south to Chiloé Island and names Santiago, La Serena, Concepcion, Mendoza, and Castro. The region depicted is divided into Chili, Imperial, and Chuchito, with part of Paraguay and Magelanick Land to the east. Title appears in a decorative cartouche at top right.
