Gastaldi's 1606 version of his 1556 map of Brasil, perhaps the earliest map of the region printed. It is in the same style as the other Gastaldi maps, with characatures all about. Interesting depictions are a volcano with fire coming out at top center of the map, clerly segregating the eastern drainage basin of the Amazon "Mara Non . F", from the western drainage, which goes through the "rio dela Plata" (river of silver, perhaps draining the famous silver region of Potosi). the northern portion is marked as undiscovered. About 12 x 15", stain along center fold and split along this fold for at least half the vertical length. Special Note: if you are a Spanish treasure enthusiast, this is the map for you, as it is probably the first depiction of the Potosi region. City: State: Date:
