IdentifierMaps_183aDatecirca 1793DescriptionGuillen y Tato lists and illustrates several Ibanez manuscript maps preserved in various Spanish archives. Two of these (nos. 11.095 and 11.195) are virtually identical to these sheets. Guillen y Tato dates these sheets [1795] (upper) and [1790] (lower). He also notes a large manuscript map of the South American continent (no. 10.024), which he dates [1800]. These sheets and the corresponding examples that he notes (nos. 11.095 and 11.195), may be preliminary working models for the 1800 manuscript map.

The two sheets exhibit the most advanced geographical information then available for the southernmost parts of South America in 1790. The new geographical findings of the Malaspina expedition did not appear on any printed map until 1798 (Carta Esferica de las Costas de la America Meridional, Direccion Hidrografica, Madrid, 1798). See Guillen y Tato, no. 11.099; Phillips, Atlases, no. 4155.
