Map of the East Coast of Brazil from 1647

in Historical Maps
1647 Map of the East Coast of Brazil - This beautiful map of the Brazilian coast is adorned with a huge wreath on top with lots of native fruits and a jaguar, tapir and capybara. With north oriented to the right, the map covers the coastal region from the São Francisco south to the mouth of the Vaza-Barris River. The map plots inland rivers with place names and topographical details along their banks. There is a naval skirmish, three Dutch ships and a canoe on the Atlantic coast. It was designed after real research by Georg Marcgraf, Elias Herckmanns and others and was among the first maps of Brazil based on non-Portuguese data. Blaeu first issued this and its accompanying maps in 1647 to Gaspar Barleus' Rerum per octennium in Brasília. They were also brought together in a large wall map, Brasilia qua parte paret Belgis. Maps then appeared in the Atlas Maior from 1662 onwards. "Praefectura de Ciriii, vel Seregirppe Delrey cum Itapuama", Blaeu, Johannes
