in Historical Maps of Brazil
Mapa do Rio de Janeiro de 1775 - Le Neptune Oriental"Plan de la Baye et du Port de Rio-janeiro...", Apres de Mannevillette, Jean B. N. D. Esta importante e antiga carta do porto mostra o Rio janeiro em forma de plano de bloco. Todas as ilhas e características costeiras com muitas sondagens e ancoradouros estão representadas. Do outro lado do Rio, na foz da Baía de Guanabara, há uma lagoa chamada Lagoa de Pirate Ningo. Uma bela rosa dos ventos com flor-de-lis e linhas de rumo embelezam esta carta gravada em cobre. Marinheiro e hidrógrafo francês, D' Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780) utilizou novos instrumentos para corrigir as latitudes medidas por exploradores anteriores. O seu atlas Le Neptune Oriental, publicado pela primeira vez em 1745, foi considerado um grande feito e um recurso indispensável para os navegadores. Referências: Shirley (BL Atlases) M.APR-1c.
