It is divided into two with one side showing the Atlantic Ocean and the coasts of Africa and Brazil and the other side a detailed examination of the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.

Another note top right explains a little about the cartographers and expedition members. Another explains about an embankment between islands on the archipelago. A cartouche top right contains a cross-section diagram of what is below sea level. Another below sea-level cross-section shows the particulars of Fernando de Noronha lower right corner. Copper engraving. Original colour. Very good condition - slight dark patches to lower corners and repair to lower left margin. Some offsetting. Size: 65 x 49.5 cm. (25½ x 19½ inches)
