(Old Prints, 17th Century Prints, South America, Brazil, Coastal View, Castle Marareta, Paraiba River, Merchant, Ships).

Issued 1671, Amsterdam by Ogilby / Montanus.

Fine 17th century engraved prospect harbor view on the coast of Brazil.

Represents the once important Dutch Fort Castle Marareta at the entrance to the Paraiba River. Merchants trading goods in foreground, fisherman hauling in boat, tall masted sailing ships in the harbor.

Short video shows condition better than words. Old paper repair to left of bottom centerfold, easy to miss when viewing the image.

Minor light toning and as typical for printed images of this vintage, minor paper flaws, but to our eyes and for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet measures c. 15" x 18 1/2".

Printed area measures c. 11 1/4" x 13 5/8".
