This rare, classic sea chart covers the Brazilian coast from Rio Paraiba to Cabo S. Augustino. It is filled with rhumb lines and decorated with a sailing ship. Just off the coast, the water is filled with soundings. Natives flank the title cartouche, and merfolk surround the distance scales. North is oriented to the right.
