EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pass card depicting a mesmerizing part of the east coast of Brazil. The pass card, created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam between 1683 and 1799, is an exquisite example of paper engraving artistry. With its dimensions measuring approximately 518mm in height and 595mm in width, this historical piece offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Brazil. The pass card features two compass roses, with the Noorder rose positioned on the right side. At the top right corner, we find the title and publisher address flanked by depictions of a man holding a bow and arrow as well as another man wielding an ax. These symbols perhaps represent indigenous cultures or early European explorers who ventured along these coasts. Intriguingly, at the bottom left corner, there is a scale presented in German, Spanish, English or French miles - showcasing how diverse influences converged upon this region during that era. Notably included within these scales are depictions of mythical creatures such as merman and sea god alongside archer's weapons like bows and arrows. Furthermore, sailing ships and boats can be observed on this pass card alongside various tools representing crafts and industries prevalent during that time period. The presence of Red Indians (American Indians) suggests encounters with indigenous communities along Brazil's coastline. Overall, this remarkable print provides us with an invaluable visual representation of Brazil's eastern seaboard from centuries ago while also offering insights into cultural exchanges between different civilizations during that era.
