Description:
Striking and highly detailed
fine
scarce 1730 approx. copper engraved map of the historic Portobello Bay, Panama, copied from Pierre Mortier's map of circa 1692. Portobello was a strategic Spanish transfer point for gold and silver coming from South America. The map shows the locations of two forts protecting the bay -- Fort Grande (Santiago) and Fort de le Mare (San Felipe) -- as well as the location of the King's stables (San Jeronimo), where gold and silver was loaded onto ships. The map is beautifully presented with a compass rose and rhumb lines.
This map was first published by Hubert Jaillot in “Atlas Nouveau “circa 1700 with the plate number 161 at bottom right, and then was used in various atlases by Covens & Mortier.
