Provincia de Brasil cum Adiacentibus Provinciis

An important early Dutch map of Brazil, extending from Santa Catarina Island in the south to São Luís in the north, published in the expanded 1630 edition of Johannes de Laet’s Nieuwe Wereldt ofte Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien. The map focuses on the Portuguese colonial coastline, labeling the hereditary captaincies in place since the 16th century and noting an abundance of coastal toponyms—ports, rivers, and capes—while omitting almost all interior detail. The inland space is instead occupied by a baroque cartouche and a distance scale rendered in English, German, and Spanish leagues, an acknowledgment of the competitive multinational interest in Brazil at the time.
