This is an early cartographic representation of the city of Buenos Aires, identified as "Buenas Aires," alongside the Río de la Plata or Paraná. The illustration, an engraving in the detailed style typical of 17th-century cartography, depicts the fortified city with buildings and port activity. In the surroundings, figures on horseback, possibly indigenous people, and boats on the river are observed. Attributed to Levinus Hulsius, this piece is a valuable historical document of the nascent European presence in the Southern Cone of America.
