A RARE SET WITH VOLUME ONE IN A ROYAL BINDING. "Tofiño de San Miguel is the best known Spanish marine cartographer. His charts are finely engraved and as well as citing Tofiño's name in the title, there are usually other signatures giving the names of the draughtsman or engraver. [Editions of this atlas] have differing numbers, depending whether the sheets of coastal profiles are present or are included. Some selections of charts may have been put together prior to official publication" (Shirley). The collation of this copy appears to match the Library of Congress copy described by Phillips.
