Map details the Canary Island group on the left side of the map.

The map is filled with rhumblines, fleur-de-lis and many notations and includes a portion of the African coastline.

With two large inset charts filling the right half resting on a tasseled drapery background.

The upper inset is a detailed chart of the island of Madeira, a volcanic archipelago in the North Atlantic north of the Canary Islands. The town of Madera (Fanchal) is shown below in a birds eye view that includes several ships in the harbor with the fortified town at the shore.

The map is very decorative and beautifully engraved in Coronelli’s characteristic style.
