2 volumes. 4to. (9 3/8 x 7 inches). Engraved portrait frontispiece, 4 folding engraved maps and 4 folding tables [with:] Apéndice a la Relacion del Viage al Magallanes. Madrid: Viuda de Joaquin Ibarra, 1793. First Edition. Folding table and folding map. Contemporary quarter sheep and marbled boards. Volume I spine with paper label. Appendix spine with red morocco lettering piece, lettered gilt First edition, one of the classic works of navigation to the Magellan Strait. The Relacion is one of the best descriptions of the Strait of Magellan and Patagonia in the 18th century. It is based on the scientific explorations undertaken by Captain Antonio de Cordoba on board the frigate Santa Maria de la Cabeza, with the aim of exploring Patagonia and to determine the continuity of the use of the Strait for Spanish ships in voyages to the Pacific, although without success as "after these expeditions the Spanish trade routes were exclusively to east ports and then overland to the Pacific ports" (Hill). Vargas y Ponce, to whom authorship is normally attributed, used also the journals of Lieutenants Galiano and Belmonte, who sailed with Cordoba. In 1793, the Appendix present here was published "Obra interesante y bien publicada" (Palau); this later part is a historical view of former expeditions, including those of Drake and Bougainville. The illustration of this work comprises between the Relacion and the Appendix five large folding maps (including the "Carta reducida del Estrecho de Magallanes", "Carta Esferica de la parte sur de la América Meridional", and two multi-inset maps of ports), a frontispiece portrait of Fernando de Magallanes by Selma, and five folding tables.

4to. (9 3/8 x 6 14/16 inches). Engraved portrait frontispiece, 4 folding engraved maps and 4 folding tables, number in ink manuscript to foot of title, epigraph leaf with later ink note and bookplate of Maria Zoila Godoy de Cobo [bound with:] Apéndice a la Relacion del Viage al Magallanes. Madrid: Viuda de Joaquin Ibarra, 1793. First Edition. Folding table and folding map. Contemporary red morocco gilt, with supralibros of Charles III on boards, double-fillet and roll-tooled borders to boards, raised bands to spine with simple tooling, green morocco lettering piece, blue silk endpapers. Provenance: Maria Zoila Godoy de Cobo, Argentinian heiress, philanthropist and patron of the arts, one of the early benefactors of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes of Buenos Aires, Argentina; engraved bookplate. First edition, one of the classic works of navigation to the Magellan Strait, here in a fine copy bound in the contemporary red morocco with the arms of Charles III of Spain, bound post mortem, as the appendix was printed in 1793 and Charles III died in 1793; normally only the Relacion is found bound with Charles III s arms, copies with both works bound together as here with the arms are excessively rare. It can be considered a tribute to Charles III, under whose reign the expedition was ordered. The fact that even after the King's death there was a desire to have the book presented with his arms is a testament to the magnitude of the expedition commissioned by the crown, and the respect held for the King, one of the most active in the administration and reform of the Indies. The Relacion is one of the best descriptions of the Strait of Magellan and Patagonia in the 18th century. It is based on the scientific explorations undertaken by Captain Antonio de Cordoba on board the frigate Santa Maria de la Cabeza, with the aim of exploring Patagonia and to determine the continuity of the use of the Strait for Spanish ships in voyages to the Pacific, although without success as "after these expeditions the Spanish trade routes were exclusively to east ports and then overland to the Pacific ports" (Hill).

The official Spanish documentation of the scientific voyage of the frigate St. Maria de la Cabeza to the Straits of Magellan, the gateway to the Pacific. The expedition served the purpose of gathering scientific and hydrographic information and typified the efforts Spain was making to stimulate research and exploration in her colonies. The second half of the relacion chronicles the historic voyages through the straits, from Magellan and Drake to Bougainville. The maps are fine examples of rare 18th-century Spanish cartography. Two of the charts are detailed delineations of the South American tip and the Tierra del Fuego region, while the other two depict ports along the Straits of Magellan. The appendix includes a description of the Peruvian people. After these expeditions, the Spanish trade routes were exclusively to east coast ports and then overland to Pacific ports. José de Vargas Ponce was a midshipman and later appointed Second Lieutenant and was a member of the Real Academia de la Historia where he worked with Banza and the mathematician Vicente Tofino where he contributed in the publishing the Martime Atlas of Spain.

First Edition, complete with the Rare Supplement. An account of Don Antonio de Córdoba's scientific and hydrographic survey of the Strait of Magellan, 1785-86, 1788-89, compiled by José de Vargas Y Ponce, Spanish geographer and naval officer, mainly from the journals of Córdoba's lieutenants, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano and Alejandro Belmonte. The expedition was appointed by the Spanish Crown to determine the exact navigability of the strait and the advisability of the Spaniards continuing to use the passage in voyages to the Pacific, as well as to investigate the plant and animal life of the region, with a view toward colonization. The findings were negative and the Spaniards subsequently exclusively favoured overland trade routes from east coast ports of South America to the Pacific ports. Included in the first volume are extensive notes on the natural history and climate of the region, an account of the customs of the Patagonian Indians, and a resumé of discovery and exploration from the time of the discovery of the strait by Magellan through the voyages of Sarmiento de Gamboa, Drake, Spilberg, Narborough, Carteret, Bougainville, &c.

Condición: A very good copy. Quarto, two volumes bound together, with an engraved portrait of Magellan as frontispiece, five fine large folding maps and five folding tables; contemporary calf-backed marbled boards.f. The full first edition, complete with the separately published Apendice a la Relación (Madrid, 1793) which appeared ten years after the main work and is not present in all copies. This is the best early description of Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan, giving the official account of the two expeditions made by Antonio de Córdoba to 'ascertain the advisability of Spaniards continuing to use the Strait in voyages - the results indicated the negative. After these expeditions the Spanish trade routes were exclusively to east coast ports and then overland to the Pacific ports' (Hill). As part of this, the Relación provides a general history of earlier voyages of discovery to the Strait. The large folding maps, fine and detailed, are all based on observations made during the Córdoba voyages. Córdoba's exploration of the Strait of Magellan --recognised then as now an area of strategic and navigational significance -- is accompanied by Vargas y Ponce's summary of the early explorations of the area, mainly from an examination of original manuscripts in the Spanish archives. He discusses various means of navigating the Strait, with detailed sailing instructions, and describes the climate, indigenous peoples and natural history of the region. .
