A 1624 Dutch travel account of Brazil, the Rio de la Plata and the Strait of Magellan, printed in Dordrecht and recounting Johan van Dorth's expedition, including the Dutch capture of Salvador. Its copper-plate views of coastal towns, ships and plantations, with a Dutch text page and a family coat of arms, show early seventeenth-century maps-and-view conventions a designer could borrow for dense, labelled town panoramas and engraved landscapes.
