Map of Brazil from 1695: A Historical Overview

Mapa do Brasil de 1695 - Este escasso e belo mapa é o terceiro mapa do Brasil de Johannes Blaeu. Projetado por Joannes de Broen e gravado por Abraham Wolfgang, foi concluído pouco antes do grande incêndio que destruiu a gráfica e, portanto, nunca foi incluído nos atlas de Blaeu. Em 1694, Pieter Schenk adquiriu várias placas de cobre de Blaeu, incluindo esta. O mapa inclui as capitanias ao longo da costa e é uma melhoria significativa em relação aos mapas anteriores do Brasil de Blaeu. A bela cartela é cercada por querubins e um deus do rio e a marca de Schenk aparece abaixo do título. "Nova et Accurata Brasiliae totius Tabula", Blaeu/Schenk — Map of Brazil of 1695 – This rare and beautiful map is Johannes Blaeu’s third map of Brazil. Designed by Joannes de Broen and engraved by Abraham Wolfgang, it was completed just before the great fire that destroyed the printing works and was therefore never included in Blaeu’s atlases. In 1694 Pieter Schenk bought several copper plates from Blaeu, including this one. The map includes the captaincies along the coast and is a significant improvement on Blaeu’s previous maps of Brazil. The beautiful cartouche is surrounded by cherubs and a river god, and Schenk’s signature appears below the title. “Nova et Accurata Brasiliae totius Tabula”, Blaeu/Schenk
