A sketch map among the papers of Diego Sarmiento de Acuña (1567-1626), Count Gondomar, Spanish Ambassador to England. c.1617?

Possibly once owned by Ralegh and given to James I, who may have passed it on to Gondomar, before Ralegh's last voyage, as a gesture of appeasement. This is speculative, as is its location among Gondomar's papers in the Biblioteca de Palacio.

The sketch was reproduced in C. Pérez Bustamente, El Conde de Gondomar y su intervención en el proceso, prisión y muerte de Sir Walter Raleigh (Santiago, 1928), after p. xxiv.
