Map Description
Old map of Argentina, Chile.
Indische Compagnie (United East Indian Company), a position he held until his death in 1638. This 1640 map reflects Blaeu's specialization in maritime cartography. The lower left corner depicts a group of seven sailing ships, positioned over a cartouche in which the scale is given in German miles. The cartouche is supported by a group of three Patagonians. The names of the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern oceans are indicated in the other corners of the map. The map is dedicated to Constantijn Huygens, a Dutch poet and diplomat who, with his more famous brother Christiaan (the discoverer of Saturn's moon Titan), also built telescopes and studied the skies.
Created by Willem Janszoon Blaeu in 1640.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
