Joannes Blaeu - Nova et Accurata Brasiliae totius Tabula

The map shows the territory of colonial Brazil in detail, highlighting the division of the coast and interior into the historic hereditary Captaincies (Capitanias) established by the Portuguese Crown. In the lower-right corner, an elegant allegorical cartouche in the Baroque style stands out, supported by putti and classical figures, framing the title of the work.
