An engraved map depicts northern South America (Guiana) and the eastern Caribbean islands. At the top center, an illustrative vignette depicts Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition: a company of European soldiers armed with pikes and muskets stand on a shoreline, with three large sailing ships anchored in the bay and a coastal fort under attack (emitting smoke) in the background. The map features dense geographical detail of the interior, including the large mythical "Parime Lacus" (Lake Parime) and numerous river networks and tribal names.
