This uncommon and attractive pair of maps covering most of Brazil was published in a scarce Dutch edition. The maps were based on the cartography of Emanuel Bowen. The directions of the trade winds are shown with arrow naming the months. There is very ice detail of the river systems, mines, forts, missions, and villages. A small remnant of the legendary Mer Parime is located in the northern map. Bold title cartouches decorate both maps.
