This is an anonymous atlas under the assigned title 'Atlas nautique du monde'. It is attributed to João Albernaz Teixeira and dated around 1628 by Armando Cortesão after analyzing all the charts and comparing it with other works by the same author. The original atlas has two ex libris, one of Jean-Charles de Mesgrigny and the other of the Duchesse de Berry. This chart depicts the coasts of Peru. It can be seen the Amazonas and the Cerro Potosí is a mountain in the Andes near the Bolivian city of Potosí.
