Note:
The Atlas of this chart was sold by the bookseller Bernard Quaritch (1819-1899) to Henry Huth (1815-78) in 1863. And in 1917 was acquired in auction by the Huntington Library. A very curious characteristic of this Atlas is that it seems to have been made in Macao, although some authors, including Cortesão, seem to disagree with this possibility. Even though it was not possible to find the author of the atlas, it shows conspicuous affinities with the works of Domingos Sanches (fl. 1618), António Sanches (fl. 1623-1641) and Pascoal Roiz (fl. 1632-1633). The chart, just like most of the other sheets of the atlas, have little to none topography. The outline of the landmasses is still very lacking and Papua New Guinea is only partly seen, as well as Australia, denoting the knowledge that land was there but had not been completely explored yet. The Atlas is not by far prime Portuguese cartography.
