EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century map print depicts the Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland to Cape Horn, as explored during the voyages of Amedee-Francois Frezier between the years 1712 and 1714. The map, titled "A Voyage to the South-sea and along the coasts of Chili and Peru," was published in Paris in 1716. This intricately detailed map showcases the Atlantic Ocean's coastlines of Europe, Africa, and the Americas, including the countries of Brazil, Canada, and Italy. The map also highlights various islands and meridian lines, reflecting the advanced cartography techniques of the time. Frezier's voyages were significant in expanding European knowledge of the South Seas and the coasts of South America. The map's accuracy and level of detail were groundbreaking for the era, making it an invaluable resource for navigators and explorers. This map is now part of the esteemed collection of the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, and serves as a testament to the rich history of cartography and exploration during the 18th century.
