Description
This unusual map of the Brazilian coast is adorned with a massive garland across the top bearing plenty of native fruit and three centrally placed animals -- jaguar, tapir, and capybara. With north oriented to the right, the map covers the coastal region of today's State of Sergipe from Sao Francisco River to south to the mouth of the Vaza-Barris River. Sergipe is located between Recife and Salvador. The map traces the rivers inland with place names and topographical detail along their shores. There is a naval skirmish, three Dutch ships, and a canoe off the coast in the Atlantic. This is among the first maps of Brazil based on non-Portuguese data. Blaeu first issued this map, and this is Covens and Mortier's later version.
