Engraving of the Baia de Todos os Santos from 1690 – Teatro Belgico
“T’Neemen van de Suyker Prysen inde Bay de Tode los Santos Anno 1627”, Leti, Gregorio
Nice copper engraving illustrating the Dutch fleet capturing the fort at the entrance to the Baia de Todos os Santos, in northeastern Brazil.
The scene is very active with billowing cannons and tiny figures rushing to action. Large inset plan of the bay is depicted in a scroll above the scene.
