Kashnor notes, "A good specimen of an early decorative map in fine state." Kashnor dates as ca. 1670. Rosenthal lists as early as 1640. Van der Krogt dates to between 1635 and 1670 - without printed text on the verso it is difficult to narrow the date further (9950:2B). Coat of arms with dedication to Constantijn Huygens.. Native figures and ships, graduated scale. "qua Tierrae de fuego, cum celeberrimis fretis a F. Magellano et I. Le Maire detectis novissima et accuratissima deswcriptio exhibetur." "Nobili et magnifico viro, D. Constantino Hugenio equiti, domino in Zuylichem, et illustrissimo principe avraico a secretis / hanc exactissimam Terrae Magellanicae descriptionem dedicat. Guiljelmus Blaeu." Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miliaria. Projection: Mercator. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS notes: 938 S10.
