Maps, Bresil, Brazil, Brasilien, Bellin
"Carte du Bresil, Prem Partie. Depuiis la Rívíere des Amazones jusquà la Baye de Tous les Saints". Copper etching in recent coloring by Bellin after a map by d'Aneville. Ca. 1755.
The title is very precise in the description of this map showing part of the Brazilian coast from the mouth of the Amazon in the north to the Bay of present-day Salvador. Many of the small coastal settlements are shown as well as rivers. A caption tells us that the inland is unknown and that the inhabitants are known as Tapuyas. The attractive cartouche adds a decorative note.
