Engraving of Cabo Santo Agostinho from 1645 – Historical Engravings
Engraving of Cape St Augustine 1645 – This beautiful panoramic view shows the Dutch fleet and the fortresses of Cape St Augustine. Published by Gregorio Letie, this scene was copied from an earlier publication dating from around 1640. It’s interesting to note that the image was inverted during the engraving process, so the map is a mirror image of reality. “Afbeeldinge vande Cabo St. Augustin met haer Forten”, Leti, Gregorio
