Scheeps-Togt door Rodrigue de Bastides en P. Alvares Polomina uyt de Haven van St. Domingo op Hispaniola, Gedaan na St. Martha . An attractive, small map of the northern coast from Panama through Venezuela and including Hispaniola and the Lesser Antilles.

Includes a pictorial title cartouche showing a man stabbing a person within a decorative tent, referring to Bastides` death while he was administering the office of governor of Trinidad. Some of his subordinates conspired against his life, and he was stabbed by them one night while asleep. He died shortly thereafter (1526) at Santiago, Cuba from his wounds. This map was published in van der Aa`s compilation of early voyages of exploration. Excellent impression. The bottom margin has been extended to accommodate framing. 8.8"" W x 5.9"" H .
