156. [Map of a part of the island of Cuba and of the Bahamas]. [Vingboons, Johannes] [1665-1670]. Colored pen-and-ink ms., 50 x 71 cm. Scale ca. 1:1,600,000. (Harrisse; Vol. I, Map 2).
Within a short period after Columbus' explorations in the Caribbean region, other European powers including the Dutch were interested in exploiting trade opportunities and establishing their own colonies in the Western Hemisphere. This 17th century Dutch map of a portion of Central Cuba and all of the Bahamas is a reflection of the careful mapping that the Dutch West India Company produced to facilitate safe and successful navigation in that region. The map clearly identifies the Bahamas Channel (that is the Gulf Stream) which served as the main shipping channel along the east coast of North America for return voyages to Europe. Map includes coastline, coastal features, navigational hazards, islands, pictorial representation of relief, settlements, numerous rhumb lines, and an ornate wind rose. Sites along the Florida coast are identified from Cape Canaveral to the Keys, and the island of Guanihani is located in the Bahamas. Geographic names appear either in Spanish or in Dutch. Johannes Vingboons (1616/17-1670) was a Dutch cartographer and engraver born into a family of artists of Flemish origin. He was in the employ of the Dutch West India Company and produced maps for over 30 years for use by Dutch mercantile and military shipping. This map is part of the Henry Harrisse manuscript collection and was acquired when the papers of the Hulst van Keulen firm were sold.

This detailed, richly colored Spanish map of the southern

pictorial representation of relief. It also includes an extensive keyed

is now southern Brazil, but at the time the map was prepared (ca. 1760-1780)
this area served as a portion of the international boundary between
Spanish and Portuguese possessions in South America. The map clearly
depicts the presence of opposing Spanish and Portuguese military forces
located on opposite banks of the Rio Grande de San Pedro. The way the
map was prepared seems to reflect a permanent Spanish presence on the
west bank of the river confronted by a Portuguese expeditionary force
on the east bank. The map illustrates just one of numerous encounters
between the two European powers in this region from at least the seventeenth
century into the nineteenth century. The map is part of the G&M
Division's collection from the Real Escuela de Navegación, Cadiz,

190. Ichonografica da Vila da Vitoria Capital da Capitania do Espirito Santo...[Brazil]. Gomes Viana. Bahia. 1767. Colored pen-and-ink ms., 43 x 58 cm. Scale ca. 1:1,240.
Vitória, an important Brazilian coastal port,
was founded in ca. 1535, early in the Portuguese colonial era. It lies
on a rocky and hilly island at the head of the bay of Espírito
Santo, a safe and deep harbor, the topography of which is reflected
in this 1767 plan of the city. At that time, Vitória was the
capital of the Capitancy of Espírito Santo. The map clearly defines
military, religious, and governmental buildings. This clear, well-executed
Portuguese plan of Vitória includes a grid of the city, the government
house, churches, monasteries, fortifications, a munitions store house,
a pillory, roads, and pictorial representation of relief, vegetation,
and cultivated fields. Map also includes a keyed legend. Plan is oriented
with northwest at top. The plan provides a noteworthy comparison between
Vitória's informal, seemingly random layout with that of the
more structurally defined and mandated grid plans of urban centers in
colonial Spanish America. Part of Vitória's appearance can be
explained by the rocky terrain on which the city was constructed. Supporting
this position, symbols of rocky outcropping appear in the city plan.
