Reconocimiento de los estrechos de Magallanes y San Vicente mandado hacer por S.M. en el Real Consejo de Indias

Second edition of this landmark map printed in Madrid in 1769. The map accompanied the second edition of the Nodal account of the expedition of the Magallanes strait carried out in 1618-19. This second revised edition of the map removes some ships to the east, wind roses and scales but the coast profiles remain the same as the original map printed in 1621 for the first edition printed in Madrid of the Nodal´s account.
The map was originally drawn and printed by Pedro Texeira, royal cosmographer of kings Philip III and IV based on the manuscripts maps of the Nodal brothers and Diego Ramirez made during their expedition. Manuel de Rueda was an artillery  official that is well known for his publication of an important book in 1761  on the techniques for copper engraving .
