Mapa do leste do Brasil 1664 — Map of Eastern Brazil 1664 – This beautiful map of the Brazilian coast is richly decorated with a scene of natives with a watchtower and a huge fleet of ships. With north to the right, the map covers the coastal region from São Francisco to Recife. It was based on real surveys by Georg Marcgraf, Elias Herckmanns and others and was one of the first maps of Brazil based on non-Portuguese data. Blaeu first published this and his supplementary maps for Gaspar Barleus’ Rerum per octennium in Brasília in 1647. They were also compiled into a large wall map, Brasília qua parte paret Belgis. The maps then appeared in the Atlas Maior of 1662. This example is the second state with the addition of a native in the watchtower. “Praefecturae Paranambucae Pars Meridionalis”, Blaeu, Johannes
