Description
This richly hand-colored chart of the bay of Cabo S. Augustin (Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil), after Janssonius circa 1651, shows the harbor with Dutch sailing ships at anchor and a decorated title cartouche. Golden coasts, green hills, and old fortifications make it as decorative as it is historical. Beautiful in a study, hallway, or nautical-themed room; a fine gift for map and maritime history lovers.
