Blaeu Map of Guiana
Blaeu, Willem (1571-1638).
Guiana sive Amazonum Regio.
Engraved map with original hand color.
Amsterdam, c. 1640.
18 1/2” x 22 3/4” sheet.
Nice map extending from the Isla Margarita in the northwest to the coast of northern Brazil near Sao Luis east of the Amazon delta. The map locates at its center a large inland sea, Parime Lacus, on whose northwestern shore lies the fabled city Manoa del Dorado, or the golden city of the Incas.
