This antique map, created in 1665, is titled ‘Insulae Canariae’, which translates to ‘Canary Islands’. The map depicts the archipelago of the Canary Islands, which were an important stopover point for Spanish ships traveling to and from the Americas in the early 17th Century. Spain at this time was a dominant global power, with vast territories in the Americas, Africa, and Asia under its control. The country was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty, which was known for its patronage of the arts and sciences, as well as its military prowess. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into the geography and history of this important period in Spanish history.
