Title of the map:
"GUIANA sive AMAZONUM REGIO"
Very unusual copper engraved map of the Northeast coastline of South America, by Arnoldus MONTANUS (1625-1683). The map depicts the coast between the Onorico river and the Amazon, centered on Parime Lacus.
Two nice cartouches with the native Americans. A nice compass. The north is oriented to the right.
The cartography of the interior of the country is largely blank except for some conjectural mapping of Amazon.
