Jansson, Jan 1653 Tabula Magellanica, qua Tierrae del Fuego, cum Celeberrimis Fretis a F. Magellano et I. le Maire Detectis Novissima et Accuratissima Descriptio Exhibetur This is one of the most elaborately decorated maps to focus on the tip of South America with the Strait of Magellan and Le Maire Strait.

Instead the region is filled with a hunting scene, exotic birds including rheas and penguins, and a quaint scene of village life. The map is further adorned with a pair of compass roses, three sailing ships, and four beautiful cartouches. The cartouches at top contain the map key and a dedication to Gualthero de Raet with his coat of arms. The cartouches arrayed across the bottom of the map present a unique distance scale in checkerboard format and the title with a tribe of Fuegian natives, penguins and shells.
