| description | The main European naval powers showed a great interest about the recently discovered territories of North America, due to their strategic position in order to plan the future wars and settlements. Their cartographers drew a great amount of manuscript and printed maps and charts, whose features and accuracy varied depending on the particular targets and the technical advances that were applied to it. The present article aims to expose the Spanish scientific contributions to the international context, as well as to spread the Spanish maps and charts drawn along the 16th-18th Centuries. This part of our Cultural Heritage still
remains unknown to the international scientific community. |
