    This map depicts the remote Juan Fernandez Archipelago in Chile, specifically highlighting the eastern perspective of 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, an English pirate, embarked on a daring mission to attack Spanish territories in western South America and plunder their treasure galleons. The journey was filled with risks and challenges, resulting in the loss of ships and crew members. Anson's squadron set sail in 1740 and returned in 1744, completing a circumnavigation of the globe aboard his flagship, the Centurion, with only 125 men remaining. Anson's unwavering determination led to the capture of the Spanish treasure galleon 'Nuestra Seniora de Cobadonga' in 1743 off Cape Espiritu Santo in the Philippines. As a result, he was promoted to Lord of the British Crown and became one of the top English commanders during the Seven Years' War. The map is a copperplate engraving in excellent condition, measuring 17 1/2" x 20". Its authenticity is guaranteed.
