This delicately engraved Italian chart depicts the northwest corner of Hudson Bay. There are Italian notations concerning whether or not an area is known, unknown, or poco cognito (little known). The map delineates the route of Henry Ellis, who sailed the Hudson Bay in 1746 in search of the Northwest Passage. Baja di Repulse, Cape Hope, Isola Barren, Mansel Island, and a couple forts are located. The engraving is adorned with a decorative title cartouche.
