Map of the East Coast of Brazil from 1647
This beautiful map of the Brazilian coast is decorated at the top with a huge garland of native fruits and a jaguar, tapir and capybara. With north to the right, the map covers the coastal region from São Francisco south to the mouth of the Vaza-Barris River.
The map follows the rivers inland, with place names and topographical details along their banks.
There is a naval skirmish, three Dutch ships and a canoe on the Atlantic coast.
Based on real surveys by Georg Marcgraf, Elias Herckmanns and others, it was one of the first maps of Brazil based on non-Portuguese data.
Blaeu first published this and its supplementary maps in 1647 for Gaspar Barleus’ Rerum per octennium in Brasília.
They were also compiled into a large wall map, Brasília qua parte paret Belgis.
The maps then appeared in the Atlas Maior of 1662. “Praefectura de Ciriii, vel Seregirppe Delrey cum Itapuama”, Blaeu, Johannes
