Item Details
Description
South America. Tobias Conrad Lotter, America Meridionalis Concinata Juxta Observationes Dnn Acad: Regalis Scientiarum et Nonnullorum Aliorum, et Juxta Annotationes Recentissimas, per G. de l'Isle..., 1772 (circa). Hand Color. Lotter's unusual map of all South America is based on Guillaume Delisle's map of 1705. While faithfully following most of its cartography, it depicts the southern portion of the continent inclined too far to the west. There is good detail and interesting notations concerning recent explorations of the interior. The tracks of several voyages (Magellan, Schouten, Medana, Sarmiento, le Maire, Gallego, Olivier and Drake) are shown in the Pacific where the Solomon Islands are also delineated. The composition is graced by an elegant title cartouche surrounded by an Amazonian queen and a native warrior along with trade goods, a parrot and an incongruous elephant.
