Description
This is the second copperplate of Ortelius' map showing the western hemisphere, showing the prominent bulge in the South American coastline. An important map because of its influence on the European perceptions of America. When the map was first published by Abraham Ortelius at Antwerp in 1570, it was the best map of the Americas available.
It was in fact the first of its kind to achieve-wide circulation through an atlas. Lower California is correctly shown as a peninsula and America is separated from Asia in the north west. In this state the name of the Azores corrected to Las Açores .

Flaggen aller seefahrenden potenzen und nationen…
A highly decorative and beautiful print with 139 flags of the sea-faring nations, factions, and trading companies.

This plate is probably derived from a Dutch flag print issued by Cornelis Danckerts c. 1700.

[Cavendish reaches Morro Moreno.]
Scarce print with a German text sheet showing Cavendish’s fleet anchor at a place called Morro Moreno, on the coast of Chile. The Indians came down from the high cliffs to greet the voyagers and brought with them firewood and fresh water as a sign of friendship.

The whole family, including children, lay underneath on animal skins. They were skilled fisherm...

[Diego de Almagro is killed.]
Almagro returned to Cuzco, disillusioned and embittered from his long and fruitless journey south into Chile, where he had been searching for further wealth. This led to a split in the control of Peru between the Pizarrists, who held the coastal regions, and the Almagrists who held the Cordillera. Further quarreling culminated in a battle just outside Cuzco in 1538, known as Las Salinas, which the Pizarrists eventually won. Almagro was subsequently garrotted and his captain, Orgóñez, beheaded....
