Geogr. Aug. Vind. [The Kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve with neighboring provinces of Spain, and also a special map of the Kingdom of Brazil in South America]
Antique 18th-century copperplate map of Portugal and the Algarve with inset map of Brazil by Matthäus Seutter. Original wash colour, with a decorative title cartouche enriched with maritime, armorial, and regal motifs. The map presents Portugal and the Algarve in exceptional detail, extending eastward to the Spanish frontiers, while the inset panel depicts the Brazilian coastline divided into its historic captaincies — including Bahia, Pernambuco, and Rio de Janeiro. The inset is animated with figures of Indigenous Brazilians. A rare and visually engaging pairing of metropolitan Portugal with its overseas dominion in South America, elegantly uniting the Old and New Worlds within a single Baroque composition.
