Note:

This is a printed mounted map in two sheets of a sea chart with 5 insets by cartographer, chart maker and cosmographer to the King of Portugal, João Teixeira Albernaz. In fact, the chart is almost an identical copy of the manuscript maps [Carte de l'Océan Indien] by the same author and of the same year, also in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. On the nautical chart are depicted the Indian Ocean across the eastern coast of Africa from the Cape of Good Hope; the Arabian Peninsula and Madagascar -named 'Ilha de Saõ Lourenso". The insets are of cities and fortresses of Africa and Oriental India. Only this sheet is signed and dated but both are obviously drawn en série.
