Original edition of the main work of Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672), a Dutch traveler in the service of the Dutch East and West Indies Companies. Nieuhof arrived in Brazil in 1640, where he stayed for nine years, leaving us an interesting account of the region occupied by the Dutch (first part); the second part is an extensive and detailed description of Batavia (Jakarta, Indonesia). The collation of the two parts is as follows: [6], 240,[2] p.; [4], 308, [4] p. The first part is illustrated with an engraved frontispiece, an engraving with the author's coat of arms and his portrait (preliminary pages), four engravings (two doubles) and nine large copperplate vignettes (130x145 mm), next to the text; the second part, with its own title page and independent pagination, includes 45 prints (28 doubles) and 21 vignettes. Copy a little used, with some imperfections: page C2 (p. 19/20, 1st p.) with serious tears repaired with adhesive tape (no lack of support); some stains on pages. 120/121, 2nd p.); tear repaired with adhesive tape on leaf Hh3; some browning, small tears and occasional minor stains. It is, however, complete, with all the engravings, in accordance with the indexes (the map of Brazil is poorly bound, between p. 16/17). 20th century binding, full sheepskin, with gold tooling on the covers and spine in the manner of the time. Sabin, 55279. Borba de Moraes, p. 614.
