Description: Kashnor notes, "A delightful map of the Early School, with the quaint miniatures, beloved of the old cartographers, scattered over the unknown interior of the continent. In Patagonia a lusty savage, armed with a chopper, is busily dismembering the body of an unfortunate fellow-creature, Whilst his assistant conveys the joints to a large fire hard by, to be roasted for dinner. In Peru stands a fearsome beast, bearing a human countenance on the body of a tiger, with an appended note. Tall galleons under full sail plow the surrounding ocean, whales spout, and dolphins gambol. One can imagine this map spread out before Drake and Hawkins on an oaken table in the parlour of the inn that overlooks Plymouth Hoe." After waxing lyrical, Kashnor dates as [Amsterdam, 1595]. Two cartouches with strapping and figures. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: German Miles, Spanish leagues. Projection: Cylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS notes: 844 No. 801-850.
