[Mexico and Central America with Baja California inset, from Generalkarte von Nord America samt den Westindischen Inseln Versasst von Herrn. Pownall . . . MDCCLXXXVIII]

This is the lower left sheet of Fran Anton Schraembl's 1788 wall map of North America, offering a detailed depiction of Mexico and Central America, with a distinctive inset of Kino's expedition to Baja California. The inset, titled "P.Eusebius Franz Kino aus der G.J.entdeckte zwischen dem 1608 und 1701J.dass Californien eine Halbinsel sey," is a nod to Eusebio Kino's revelation between 1698 and 1701 that California was not an island, but a peninsula.

Peoples of the Pacific

The focus of the work is the dozens of portraits of the inhabitants of each region depicted on the map, including the aboriginal peoples in the Pacific and the Americas, white settlers, and the dominant ethnicities in eastern Asia. A legend shows the supposed dominant racial distribution across the map.
