Note:
This is Lowitz's two-sheet version of a map of the Philippine Islands by Pedro Murillo Velarde. The map depicts a very detailed view of the islands, with villages, waterways, and historical events marked, it is the most accurate map of the islands to that date. The map combines enormous coastal and topographical details with the attributes of a sea chart, showing the sailing courses for vessels heading to both Spain (Madrid) and New Spain (Mexico), as well as the course taken by Magellan in 1521. To the north is the route of the Acapulco-Manila galleon, which could sail via Cape Boxeador or through the islands. To the south is the track of Ferdinand Magellan, the first European to visit the islands in 1521. He is mentioned in the note cartouche on the left bottom corner which gives a short history of the Europeans in the Philippine Islands. The Velarde Map, the first indigenous engraved map of the Philippines, is a reduced version. In the early 18th century, Philip V had ordered a new map of the Philippines to be prepared and the task fell to Velarde. In Manila in 1734, he produced the most accurate map of the Philippines with the help of local artisans, such as Nicolás de la Cruz Bagay, a Tagalog Indian, engraver. This particular map has been slightly altered in regard to the original.
