1671 English engraving by John Ogilby entitled "Truxillo," depicting the city of Trujillo, Honduras. 19" x 15-1/4" total (image 13-1/4" x 11"). This view appeared in John Ogilby’s seminal atlas America: Being the Latest, and Most Accurate Description of the New World, published in London in 1671. Ogilby’s work is an English translation of Arnoldus Montanus’ Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld…, published in Amsterdam, although greatly expanded in some instances and with new maps and views. This highly detailed view of Trujillo--often the target of pirate attack in the late 17th century--shows a key for 8 points of interest, several galleons and natives in the foreground and a fort in the background, in excellent condition except for minor frays on edges.
