Description |
English: A fine example of Rigobert Bonne and Guilleme Raynal’s 1780 map of Northern South America. This map includes the area stretching from modern day Ecuador, Panama, and Columbia, to Venezuela, Guyane, Surinam, and the northern portion of Brazil. Highly detailed with river ways and mountain ranges, it also includes the mythical Lake Parime; it was here treasure hunting explorers, including Sir Walter Raleigh, once believed they could find the semi-mythical City of El Dorado. Also features important cities and ports, along with wind and ocean current directions, reefs, and other underwater dangers.
