The "Carta Esferica de la Isla de Mallorca y sus adyacentes" by Vicente Tofiño, presented to the King, possibly Charles III of Spain, through the hands of Antonio Valdés, and constructed by Vicente Tofiño de San Miguel in the year 1786, refers to a nautical chart or maritime map of the island of Mallorca and its surrounding areas. This map was likely presented to the King of Spain, and its creation was attributed to Vicente Tofiño de San Miguel, who was a notable Spanish naval officer and cartographer of the 18th century.

The chart would have provided detailed and accurate geographical information about the island of Mallorca, including its coastlines, ports, and nearby marine features. It would have been valuable for navigation and maritime activities in the region during that period.

Vicente Tofiño served in the Spanish Navy and was appointed as the Chief Hydrographer of Spain in 1783.

Tofiño was renowned for his meticulous and accurate nautical charts, which were instrumental in improving navigation and maritime safety in Spanish waters and beyond. His works included detailed charts of the coasts of Spain, the Balearic Islands, and other regions, which were highly regarded for their precision and reliability.

In addition to his cartographic endeavors, Tofiño made important contributions to the development of marine science and navigation, particularly in Spain. His works were influential in the advancement of Spanish maritime exploration and trade during the 18th century.
