Ostium Flumines Paraybae (1671)

This large copper engraving shows the entrance to the Paraiba river in Brazil with a nice view of Castle Margareta on the Brazilian coast. The busy scene is filled with fishermen, shepherds and merchants loading their wagons.

In the late 1630s, Holland attempted to reassert its claim over Brazil by establishing a series of forts along the coastline. One of the best-documented colonies was the expedition led by Prince Maurits of Nassau, who attempted to assemble an intellectual court in the New World. He brought with him a group of highly accomplished artists, mapmakers, and scientists to record the mysteries of Brazil. They included the celebrated painter Frans Post, and the astronomer George Markgraf, who produced the first serious study of the southern sky. Post painted a wealth of images of the Brazilian landscape and the surrounding vegetation and wildlife. His works are some of the earliest European paintings of Brazil and were eagerly reproduced in print by Dutch engravers.

This print is from Arnoldus Montanus’ Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld, published in Amsterdam, 1671.

I am glad you are happy with the map. And also that it arrived safely. I must say I am a bit surprised by the comment about the time it took to send it. The shipping took 8 days, from Spain to the Netherlands. Perhaps you count from the moment you pay, but I can´t possibly ship in a weekend. You paid at the end of the morning on Friday when the mail here already had been collected. It now left on a Monday at the first possibility. And it took a week. That includes a weekend where also the Dutch Post doesn´t work. I think it will be difficult to get it to you faster, unless the costs are multiplied by three or four to contract express courier service......

Een bekend adres. Al jaren. Betrouwbaar! Djw!

Zéér professionele verkoper, goede communicatie via catawiki. Jammer dat bezorger hier in Nederland het brievenbuspakket niet in de brievenbus had gedaan. Terwijl verkoper dat duidelijk had vermeld.

Levering nam wat meer tijd in beslag dan normaal en prenten waren ook iets minder goed verpakt! Normaal tussen twee kartonnen platen nu slechts 1 en een smal strookje! Gelukkig onbeschadigd aangekomen
