This is a 1620 German-language appendix to the de Bry America series, printed at Oppenheim by Hieronymus Galler for the de Bry publishing house, recounting Joris van Spilbergen's Dutch voyage through the Magellan Strait and into the South Sea from 1614 to 1618. Its copper-engraved views of harbours, islands and anchored ships are plain topographic records, useful to a designer for sea-chart compositions, compass roses and dense ship-and-coastline layouts in monochrome.
