    This map showcases the remote Chilean archipelago of Juan Fernandez Island, specifically highlighting Cumberland Bay located on Robinson Crusoe Island. The current population of the island is approximately 900. The map is part of the renowned firsthand account by Baron George Anson titled "A Voyage Round the World", published in London in 1756. Anson's daring mission was to attack Spanish territories, targeting their treasure galleons for looting. The journey was fraught with risks and difficulties, resulting in the loss of ships and crew members. However, Anson's flagship, the Centurion, and its remaining 125 men completed a circumnavigation of the globe, returning in 1744. Anson's unwavering determination eventually led to the capture of the Spanish treasure galleon 'Nuestra Seniora de Cobadonga' in 1743 off Cape Espiritu Santo in the Philippines. His accomplishments earned him a promotion to Lord of the British crown, and he became one of the esteemed English commanders during the Seven Years' War. The map itself is a copperplate engraving in excellent condition, with dimensions of 16 1/2" x 20". Its authenticity is guaranteed.
