Map of Brazil 1730 – Historical Map

Mapa do Brasil de 1730"Nova et Accurata Brasiliae Totius Tabula, Auctore Ioanne Blaeu I.F.", Blaeu/Schenk Este mapa escasso é o terceiro mapa do Brasil de Johannes Blaeu. Ele inclui as capitanias ao longo da costa e é uma melhoria significativa em relação aos mapas anteriores de Blaeu do Brasil. A bela cartela é cercada por querubins e um deus do rio. Esse mapa, desenhado por Joannes de Broen e gravado por Abraham Wolfgang, foi concluído pouco antes do grande incêndio que destruiu a gráfica e, portanto, foi incluído em apenas uma edição dos atlas de Blaeu. Em 1694, Pieter Schenk adquiriu várias placas de cobre de Blaeu, incluindo esta.
Map of Brazil from 1730
“Nova et Accurata Brasiliae Totius Tabula, Auctore Ioanne Blaeu I.F.”, Blaeu/Schenk
This scarce map is Johannes Blaeu’s third map of Brazil. It 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. This map, drawn by Joannes de Broen and engraved by Abraham Wolfgang, was completed just before the great fire that destroyed the printing house and was therefore only included in one edition of Blaeu’s atlases. In 1694 Pieter Schenk acquired several of Blaeu’s copper plates, including this one.
