    Maps shows the southern most tip of South America. By Willem Blaeu. Amsterdam, hand colored copperplate engraved. A very influential map based on the explorations by Schouten and Le Maire. (Who discovered Cape Horn). The southern peninsula has the sharp triangle edge common for maps of the time. Mountains are also shown but hardly any land expeditions ever carried out. This remote location was very important as it was the gateway to the pacific. The straights were claimed by the Dutch East India company (VOC). Blaeu was the official hydrographer to the VOC. Beautifully decorated with a cartouche which shows the indigenous people thought to be famous Patagonian giants. A myth begun my Magellan himself. The grid depiction shows how latitude lines expand as one sails closer to the poles. A coat of arms, three compass roses with rhumb lines , as well as a fleet of ships add to the appeal of the map.
