"Recens elaborata Mappa Geographica Regni Brasiliae in America Meridionali…", Seutter, Matthias

Large striking map depicting Brazil from the Amazon delta to Sao Paolo and inland to the Rio de la Plata olim Paraguay. The Amazon delta contains many small islands and a confusion of waterways. The coastline is well mapped with the location of many place names; the interior, however, is largely unexplored. The bold figural title cartouche features the scenery, natives and agricultural bounty of the region.

Spectacular example with no flaws in the image: beautiful original color and very early, dark impression. In the left margin are a few light stains and an old paper cut about half way up that is closed on verso with old paper repair.
