Kashnor notes, "Coloured in indication of nationalities. A magnificent map of South America, from Santiago to Cape Horn, affording a complete and accurate view of the great Spanish Empire on the eve of its dissolution. It indicates the location of the various Indian nations, e.g. the 'Aracuyas,' who 'live chiefly on tiger's flesh'; the 'Los Plateros' or Silversmiths, 'now extinct'; the 'Mavorunas, called by the Spaniards Los Barbudos, the Bearded Nation, the only one in Spanish America,' &c. The attempt here to map out interior Brazil is particularly interesting." "Extracted Chiefly from the Original Manuscript Maps of His Excellency the late Chevarier Pinto; Likewise from those of Joao Joaquim da Rocha, Joao da Costa Ferreira. El Padre Francisco Manuel Sobreviela &c. and from the most authentic edited accounts of those countries. Digested / Constructed by The late eminent and learned Geographer Louis Stanislaus Darcy de la Rochette." Prime meridian: London. Relief: hachures. Graphic Scale: Miles, leagues. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS notes: 842 four sheets 38 38* 38** 38***.
