This map isn't part of any series, but we have other featured maps that you might want to check out.
These plates depict Sir Francis Drake's exploits in the New World.
I'm not finding much about the illustrator, Baptista Boazio, who made these two whimsical and beautiful maps... so if you come across something, make sure to let me know.
Hello,
I’m from Colombia and I’m doing an animation for a documentary film about a canal near Cartagena de Indias. For this it would be very helpful to be able to use the map of the lower section of Sir Francis Drake’s West Indian Expedition (1589). Unfortunately I have not been able to download it because there is not a link to it. So if you can provide a copy of the map or a link to it, I would be very grateful. Of course I will give you the full credit at the end of the film.
If I can help you in anyway from Colombia concerning your excelent maps collection, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Carlos
Sorry for the late reply, Carlos. Yes, indeed, this was a mixup with the database. I’ve corrected it in the page, and you can download both maps, now, from the infobox up top, or here:

Good luck with the film; drop me a note when it’s finished, I’d love to see it.
Kind regards,
