This superb map links Portugal with her colony in South America in a beautiful composition. The map is filled with impressive detail of Portugal with mountains, rivers, cities and villages all carefully located. However, it is the addition of a large inset of Brazil showing the indigenous people that makes the map outstanding. The exquisite title cartouche fills the remaining area above the inset showing the arms of Portugal and Algarve and the Portuguese fleet, demonstrating its importance in the world of seafaring.
