- These maps are mid-nineteenth century facsimiles, probably removed from "On the discovery of Australia by the Portuguese in 1601: Being a supplement to the volume of 'Early Voyages to Terra Australis'", by Richard Henry Major, 1861, published both as a pamphlet and in the journal Archaeologia vol.xxxviii. The pamphlet is held by the NLA at Bib. ID 801175 and also available online via JSTOR at www.jstor.org/stable/60228942. A xerox is housed with the map at MAP RM 2053. In the article Major describes his 1861 discovery of the map in the British Museum. This map, a late eighteenth or early nineteenth century copy, had been purchased by the Museum in 1848 from Sr. de Michelena y Roxas of Madrid. Major argues that the purchased map is an accurate copy of a (lost?) original drawn c.1620.
