AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This small hand-colored engraved map of Brazil, engraved by Jodocus Hondius, shows the eastern coast of South America with its river mouths and coastal names, the interior filled with scenes of native peoples, their villages and ceremonies, and a strapwork title cartouche lettered "Brasilia". The sheet carries the French heading "Bresil", the page number 163 and the signature Ll 2 of the text edition in which it was published.
Small-format atlases of the years around 1600, engraved in Amsterdam by Hondius and his circle, made the new geography of the Americas available to a wide public at a modest price.
Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) was a Flemish engraver, cartographer and publisher in Amsterdam, who acquired the plates of Gerard Mercator's atlas and reissued it from 1606.
