This huge map is engraved on three separate sheets and provides an extremely detailed view of the continent. The top sheet includes a large inset of the Falkland Islands. The bottom sheet features a very large and beautifully engraved title cartouche depicting the religious conversion of the native people. This is a very uncommon Austrian issue and will be very striking if assembled as a wall map.
