Description
This is a magnificent large map of most of Brazil, Guiana and Uruguay. The map extends north of the Amazon to Rio de la Plata in the south. It is Blaeu's second map of this area with detail confined to the coastlines and the map oriented with north to the right of the map. The coastline is very detailed, while inland the cartography is highly conjectural and mostly empty, and contains mythical features such as Parime Lago in Guiana. The map reflects the short-lived Dutch influence in Brazil through the Dutch West-India Company. It is richly embellished with a title cartouche featuring the Dutch coat of arms, a distance scale cartouche with three putti, compass roses, galleons, and rhumb lines. The map is dedicated to Christoph Arciszewski, who was a Polish nobleman and officer in the service of the West India Company. Latin text on verso.
