Coastal view and bird's eye map of the island of Fernando de Noronho.

I. de Fernande, is alsdus gedaen, als het Z.Z.O. van u is, Een halff myl in Zee. / t'Eijlandt Fernande de Noronho. -The island of Fernando de Noronho lies off Brazil but has been included in the Africa volume in the Blaeu-Van der Hem Atlas.

The Dutch fort, built in 1646, is not shown on the chart. As such the original, from which this map has been copied, probably originated before 1646.

The plate is taken from the Blaeu-Van der Hem Atlas.
